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 Garden Train Ran Great

I started out by running my locomotive around the track in the garden and at first the engine would bog down a bit as it went around. The more times it went around the less I noticed the slowdowns and the smoother the locomotive would run. I then began adding cars to the train and the same result came about. I eventually had the full train running with very good result. I believe the garden train is ready to go for 2014.
