The New York Central Passenger & Ann Arbor Freight Trains


After all my talk here are the New York Central Passenger & Ann Arbor Freight Trains. I have waited a long time for all of this to come together and now its finally here. I hope you enjoy this short clip.

The next steps are to work on the layout, and start putting together the Pere Marquette Passenger train. It should be on its way to Mountain Town Hobbies.

Just Announced Today By American-Rails.com


"Trains Newswire reports that Watco has acquired another short line, the reborn Ann Arbor Railroad, which operates over the original Annie between Ann Arbor and Toledo (Ohio), a distance of about 50 miles."








I am in shock to hear this. I have been told it is to early to say if there will be any more changes to the railroad.

Hanukkah Harry did it again

This Chanukkah it happened just like last year and I am really grateful. My family Sandy, Ted, and Johnathan put their money together and got me the Alco PA/PB locomotives I really wanted. Now my New York Central passenger train is complete. I am running a PA-B-A configuration.


Thank you all, family, for the wonderful gift, it made my holiday.
