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 Landscaping on Grand Central Has Begun

I started by putting in a few one way streets to form the entrance to Grand Central Station. I am now in the process of lining the streets with trees. As you can see I still have one side of the street to complete. I added bushes to the front of the terminal. I also added some people at the entrance to Grand Central. Then I added some park benches. I might try adding some flower beds and sidewalks along the boulevard.

The grand plan is to add houses and a residential street to the left side of the terminal.

Grand Central Station Is Now On My Layout

My birthday is coming up and I got an early gift. Sandy let me order a kit from Walthers and I built Grand Central Station. I can use it for my New York Central passenger train and for my Pere Marquette passenger train. It all depends on the city I am claiming the station is in. New York City for the New York Central train and Chicago for the Pere Marquette train.

As you can see I have a lot of landscaping to do. I need to paint in the streets and put in people and cars but afterall I just built the building.
