I don't have a lot of paperwork from Asia, but here's an old one from a land of famous railroads- The Bengal & Assam Railway:

Here's a new addition to my web site tour. A noted hauler in northwestern Pennsylvania, the Bessemer & Lake Erie RR:

Walking down the branch line

Wide angle of Northern line in Franklin NH with concrete retaining wall on right. This shot is taken a few paces north of the overpass and creek.

Greetings fellow Rail Junkies, Foamers and Modelers! As I write this, the birds are singing and the promise of warmer days is in the air. After the long winter and somewhat disappointing spring many of us have had, it's ...

I suppose I will have to give up my foamer license for this.
I was at work along side the Old C&I the other day when along came a pair of 70MAC's (count em two). Camera phone out of reach and no other cameras around.
Poor me.

I've started a new Freemo-N module called Alaska Shipping. The module is 16" wide and 42" long.

I started with a frame that was based on one presented by Dave Falkenburg Free-Mo N.



I used 3/4" plywood for the sides, endplates and bracing. The legs are secured to the ...

"Where you been Range Rider?"


Yes I'm back, but the view has changed.

Greetings fellow rail junkies! It has been a while since my last entry, but as I warned in the last update, the times, they are a changing. I know my blog headings are usually a song related one but I couldn't think of one today. A recent trip to my DVD collection reminded me of an old episode of the A-Team and ...

Up first this morning was a trip to Nevada City. Dave Braun recently passed away and his ex West Side/Swayne Lumber caboose is now at the railroad museum. Definately gonna take some work but plans are to restore her to the as built Swayne Lumber condition. Also caught the guys having some fun in the shop building a soapbox derby car.

The Nevada Co Traction hasn't run in awhile and while visiting the area, I was able to give it a onceover as well. Re-shot all the motive power. Seems ...

Some of the TrainBoard New York Central fans requested favorite locations for flimsies, from my collection. In response a new page is now up at:

http://www.train-orders.com/ Just scroll down and click on "TOUR", next page scroll down to "Train Orders" and there is the link!


If anyone has further requests, and I have them in my collection, it will be easy to add to that page.

Please let other NYC fans know!

I really want to kick myself today! lol As mentioned before, I went down to see my daughter this weekend. She lives with my ex in a small Central Valley town near Turlock. When I left Saturday morning, I thought about taking my new D-SLR but decided not to. Of course, on my way home, I saw a UP stack train on the old WP line heading west to Altamont. I would have loved to pulled over and taken some great shots of the train from the interstate. Lesson learned!

In recent years, Folsom has seen development of river crossings, a light-rail extension, a new high school, a regional performing arts center and shopping venues galore.
Despite that passel of projects, Patrick Maxfield is most excited about what is still largely a hole in ...

I haven't been getting much done lately as I've had a change in work hours. I was working at night, getting off work at 8am and coming home and doing some modeling. Now, I'm working during the day, getting off at 8pm. It's been tough making the adjustment. I'd been working at night for so long, I joked with my friends about being a vampire! The one thing I don't like is not having much time after work to do something. I was spoiled being able to leave work and go to do some shopping when stores ...
