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.

New N Scale Layout In The Planning Stage

Ever since I started my coffee table layout, I have been thinking about how nice a full N scale layout would be. I decided to start planning a larger layout. I am currently working on the track design and the plans for the tables. fortunately the layout would not require a lot of floor space as N scale is so small. I have been thinking about running two separate loops on their own transformers. The track-age will have a few sidings and space to park unused rolling stock.
I would like to make at least one track dedicated to the Ann Arbor Railroad, but I have been thinking that Canadian National Railroad, Grand Trunk Western Railroad, and CSX Transportation are also possibilities.
