Model railroading is a hobby of collecting, building, and running model trains. I have to thank my Dad for giving me the "railroad bug" that I enjoy today. I also have to credit the many friends I have made through train clubs and the National Model Railroad Association (NMRA). They have, over the years, shown me what a great hobby Model Railroading can be. |
Skip Luyk's Arcadia and Betsy RR
Arcadia and Betsy RR features craftsman structures and detailed logging locomotives. This layout was featured in the NCR 2006 regional convention. Skip did an excellent job on his multi-level layout which at the time was only about half completed. The quality scenery, locomotives and track plan make for a great layout.
Prototype Modelers 2009 Naperville
Prototype modeling is the art and craft of replicating real trains in model form. Modelers strive for a high amount of realism when building model locomotives, cars, structures and even scenery. A lot of the modeling is museum quality and there are three pages of photos showcasing the display room. Below is a mere sampling of the models in the display room, please enjoy the photos.
Trainfest 2008
Trainfest is a annual train show held in Milwaukee Wisconsin every November. This year we have photos from the Northwest Trainmasters modular layout along with before and after shots from the weathering clinic. We also have photos regarding Steel Mill modeling, the new Walthers (tm) steel mill kit, and a bit of WWII modeling in N-Scale. This is just a small fraction of exhibits on display at Trainfest. Enjoy! - Mark N. Goedert
