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.

The Proposed Union Pacific Loop for the Grandkids Layout

My efforts on the grandkids layout is complete to my original specifications. If I were to enhance the plan it would be to add another loop and to include the Union Pacific Railroad to the effort. If I did that I will cover all 4 major freight carriers in the continental United States. The 2 on the East Coast; Norfolk Southern Railway, and CSX. And the 2 on the West Coast; BNSF, and Union Pacific Railroad. The Union Pacific loop would go on 30 inch radius track and be the outermost loop of the layout. I would be starting from scratch on this loop and I would need everything to make it happen.
