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.

Freight train freight train rollin round the bend.....

I have decided to add a New York Central freight train to my passenger train layout. It requires a lot more track, but I really like the visual of two trains passing each other. If I can figure out how to do it, I will post a video of the two trains as soon as I am able. The video will show the very simple state the layout is in at the moment. i.e. no tables no scenery and simple track layout. I still have a long way to go to complete this project.

Mamma is in the house

Barry has made me co-author of the Blog. Thanks Barry. I will be posting on this blog bringing the female perspective.

Today we went to the Lansing Michigan train show at the MSU pavilion. It was a very large show. Barry walked up and down every aisle in the place. I was able to check out a few horses while we were there. We almost found a Walthers heavyweight New York Central RPO for Barry, but almost doesn't count.
