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 New Deal

My wife Sandy and I struck a deal, If I loose 50 lbs, she will buy me the Pere Marquette passenger cars I have been waiting for. Our deal is to divide the 50 lbs by the number of cars I have on order to establish benchmarks for each car. When I reach the weight established for each car she will buy it for me. At first it will be easy but as the weight drops off the bench marks will get harder and harder to reach, but I think I can do it with a lot of hard work. As of today I have reached the first benchmark so I will be getting the RPO today I can't wait.

Late October and still no Pere Marquette Passenger Cars

The RPO and Baggage cars were due in late September and the 52 seat Coach car was due in late October. As of yet they have not arrived. Its probably a good thing as I am still saving up my money but I am anxious to possess the passenger train.
