Another view of Glenmoore Station. This area was re-worked last winter. 

Glenmoore Station. An area I re-modeled during the winter of '03-'04. 

Winter is coming

Normally I work on my trains in January & February. This time of year I'm pretty much stuck in the house anyway.

Last winter I did a major re-modeling of the station tracks at Glenmore. Soon I hope to post photos so you can see the layout.

This winter I have another project planned. I need to "demolish" one of my numerous tunnels. Tunnels I've always liked, as it hides the train briefly. That plus (especially), on a small layout you don't just see track.......you see scenery also. Years before, when I built the layout (around 1990), there were several track spots that were "bad". I never got around to fixing them, and in many cases, have tunneled over them. Now when I run trains, often I have trouble in difficult to reach spots. Tough lesson to learn!. I should have known better. Anyway, that's on the agenda for this winter.

tiny trains

Model railroading can be an exciting and fun hobby.........even for those with limited space.

I work in "N" scale, currently the second most popular size (with "HO" being the first). I have two layouts, both of which are attached to the wall and fold down when used. The larger layout is 3½ by 7 feet. The smaller is 2 by 3 feet. Both are extremely well detailed and have been seen on cablevision on the "Model Railroading On Long Island" tv show.

I will be adding photos to this blog shortly.
