Railroad

I always loved model trains and when our son was 12, he and I built our second layout. We built the barn in which I do all of my restoration work now and allocated the entire loft for our model railroad. Loft is 14' X 24', barn is 24' X 45'. All the trains are digitally controlled and they all have their own sound cards, so you can manually make all kinds of noises. Fun ...

From the home page. This really is a model! You'd swear you were standing right on the tracks. Lower level, coal train coming at you. My Farmall H on the flatbed truck across the street from the convenience store.

Second level two CSX freight trains waiting at the signal. Acela passenger train on level 3 above.

Ground level. Refinery on the right and grain silos on the left.

Second level also, approaching tunnel with third level above.

Ground level. Power plant with continuous coal dump and water cooling towers on right.
