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 Inventory is Over

At last the inventory is finished. I have a lot more train cars than I thought. If I wanted to I could inventory my buildings, track, people and a lot more stuff, but enough for now.

I have gone back to buying track for the HO New York Central layout. only two more packages of 28" diameter curved track. and a lot more straight track and I will be done with that phase of it. Then I concentrate on the tables to put the layout on. I believe I've mentioned in an earlier post that I will need to build them so they are portable just in case I need to move the layout at a later date.

The layout will accommodate a passenger train, I'm still looking for a good DC steam locomotive New York Central of course, and a freight train, a few extra cars would be nice. I plan to build in a freight yard and a small village. I have collected a few buildings but I still have a long way to go.
