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.

Freight train freight train rollin round the bend.....

I have decided to add a New York Central freight train to my passenger train layout. It requires a lot more track, but I really like the visual of two trains passing each other. If I can figure out how to do it, I will post a video of the two trains as soon as I am able. The video will show the very simple state the layout is in at the moment. i.e. no tables no scenery and simple track layout. I still have a long way to go to complete this project.

The Lansing Michigan Model Train show

I attended The Lansing Michigan model train show Sunday. It was huge. There was everything from N scale to G scale. I found every kind of Walthers heavyweight passenger car made except the New York Central RPO I've been looking for. There were posters of old railroads, books, movies, coffee mugs, mouse pads, T shirts, metal signage, and a tun of other railroad stuff.
