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 N Scale Coffee Table Is Progressing

The N scale coffee table layout is coming along well. I've added a river and lake some buildings and started adding grass and trees. the process is going slow but it is starting to take shape. The train is modeled after the Ann Arbor Railroad under Detroit Toledo & Ironton Railroad control during the 1960's. 2 boxcars still display the Ann Arbor logo from when it was owned by the Wabash railroad. I am currently making trees to display a wooded area at the base of the mountain near the tunnel portal and the lake. As you can see there is still a lot more work that needs to be done to make the layout presentable.
