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.

Great Lakes Central #391
I just picked up my Great Lakes Central locomotive #391 from Brasseurs Electric Trains in Saginaw Michigan where it was being repaired it wasn't repaired now I need to take it back and have them do it again. I at least had the opportunity to redo the decals.

The Prototype for the Box Car I Just Got
I got this picture from the Lake State Railway Company photographic roster the road number is LSRC #10017 not 10028 as on the model it's the only box car with that paint scheme on their roster.

A New Box Car For My Central Michigan Railway Freight Train
I'm getting delivery of a Lake State Railway box car today that I will be using on my Central Michigan Railway layout. The Lake State Railway tracks are nearby the tracks used by the Central Michigan Railway, so it would make sense that the Central Michigan Railway freight train would be hauling Lake State Railway rolling stock. The box car road markings are LSRC 10028.
This is the locomotive I will be using to pull the Central Michigan Railway freight train.

The Great Lakes Central Loop Update
I have now replaced the Bachmann steel EZTRACK with nichol silver EZTRACK and added some straight pieces of track so the track for the loop is complete. I have also added rolling stock, 4 covered hoppers, giving me a good start on completing the freight train.
