Reason For This Site
I am an avid model railroader who works with two sizes of models — garden railroad models and larger models you can ride on. I have created this web site in order to share some of my model railroading experiences. As I delvelop this site, I will show you some of my models, share tips on how to do projects and document some of my projects.

Garden Railway Trains
Here is a view of my garden railroad. It consists of a dogbone loop of track about 250 feet long in the back yard at our home near Middlebury, Vermont. The layout is still very much a work in progress. One of its features is a pool fed by a stream with a series of waterfalls.


Ride-On Trains
This is a picture of my ride-on train locomotive. It is a model of a Sacramento and Northern steeple cab freight motor. It is a 2.5 inches/foot scale model which runs on 7.25 inch gauge track. I am a member of the Adirondack Live Steamers club where I operate it over a mile-long loop of track which winds through the woods near Saratoga, New York. To learn more about the club, click on its web address. (www.adirondacklivesteamers.org)
