ogauge47 · 10-17-2009, 09:28 PM

I have two main hobbies: playing trumpet and o scale model railroading. i post on the forum Model Train Journal (Model Train Journal • Index page) i collect lionel trains and i model modern-day detroit in o scale.
does anybody else here like model trains and/or collecting toy trains?

Yes. I'm an N Scaler. Mostly modern era.

You need to meet my father in law, here in metro Detroit.

Here are a few pics of the one he is building now.

I think you can play some interesting pieces, both in classical or jazz : Honegger's Pacific 231, Strayhorn's Take the A train, ...

The Atchinson, Topeka ans the Santa Fe.

I'm an HO guy. Santa Fe, mostly. Someday I'd like to build a big new layout modeling passenger trains of the 40's-50's, but for now I just collect stuff now and then. Especially things that'll be hard to find later on.

Here's my best project, a Santa Fe E-1 A and B. It took weeks of masking, painting and decaling one summer, but it came out great. I do need too add some window glass, though. Maybe a good project for a cold winter evening this year. Too bad the motor was shot...if anyone knows how to repower a (very) old Hallmark E-1 without replacing the trucks, PM me!

You blokes have just way too much time.

All I have is my "trumpet set" and I occasionally get to play with some model airplanes in 1:1 scale.

Im a "young" modeler, im building an HO layout, following my favorite railroad company, the New York Central, I also own a vintage PRR Broadway Limited Set in O scale, with 10 cars, and 2 limited edition cars.
