Barry's Model Railroad

This is an accounting of my attempts at model railroads N scale and HO or OO. I find it to be a lot of fun. I concentrate my efforts on The New York Central, Ann Arbor, Pere Marquette, Chesapeake and Ohio as it relates to the Pere Marquette, Michigan Central Railroads and my own Salt Creek Railroad. I am also interested in the Tuscola and Saginaw Bay Railway, the Great Lakes Central Railroad, CSX, Norfolk Southern, Union Pacific, and BNSF. You are welcome to give me advice.

A Little Paint and ...

I took an old Ann Arbor Centerflow hopper and I painted over the markings in a very light gray. Then I designed decals for a covered hopper owned by the Great Lakes Central Railroad which still uses the TSBY markings of the old Tuscola and Saginaw Bay Railway I used a photo of car number 97040 as my source. I printed the decals on decal paper and placed the the decals on the painted hopper. they came out great. I now have a Tuscola and Saginaw Bay covered hopper.
