While I have not started a new home project layout this past year, I have been able to operate on a number of interesting model railroads. One of these layouts is inspired by a stretch of the Baltimore &#38; Ohio in West Virginia, and not far from where I lived in Morgantown, W. Va. Thomas [...]]]></description>

With the holidays over and winter settling in, I&#8217;ve been organizing the spare room to set up a workbench and test track. It&#8217;s a tough puzzle as five boxes need to move before I can move some other boxes into the space the five boxes were sitting. If I move too many boxes, then I have [...]]]></description>

I was reorganizing boxes of hobby materials and other ephemera the other day and I came across a box of old photographs. A few loose pictures caught my eye and I thumbed through a small stack. Among those were several images of my first HO scale layout. The image above shows the overall scope of [...]]]></description>

    Repost: from January 2011
