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.

Waiting For The Weather To Get A Bit Warmer

All winter long I wait for the weather to change so I can get outside and run my garden train. I have two trains I like to run outside. One is a New York Central freight train with a box car, a reefer, a tank car, a 2 bay hopper, a log car, a gondola and a caboose. the other is my Salt Creek freight train with a 0-4-0 switcher 2 tank cars, a gondola, a flatcar, and a caboose. The snow has all melted off the tracks but the rainy season has begun. I still need to clean off the debris from around the layout. A few buildings need repair and I am still looking for an Aristo Craft ALCO FB unit to go with the New York Central Freight Train.
