tjmfishing's Layout

Taylor is building an HO layout and he has a tour video up. It's a great walkthrough of the layout and his future plans for it.


He also did a few railfan videos on his layout, complete with sound added.

Last Freight

I am moving in a month or so and my layout has to go. I started removing track two nights ago and it is going fast.

Here is the last freight train on my model train layout. CN 3125 collected one hopper car and the work train from the Bathurst yard, then did one circuit of the layout.

New Peninsula Added

I have added a peninsula to my model railroad, finally! Here's a video of the first train taking a test trip around.

Obviously a tremendous amount of work remains to be done.

Carnegie Science Center Model Railroad

This is a marketing video, but it shows the controls used to operate the Carnegie Science Center's model railroad. I saw that railroad back in 2000 or so when I was in Pittsburgh, but it was down for remodeling at the time.

Moncton Model Railroad Show Video

Here's a little video I took with my Canon S3 of an N scale military train at the Moncton train show.

Chasing Trains on the Island Central

Bob Boudreau put a nice video railfanning the Island Central on YouTube. Very nice.

Dartmouth Model Railroad Show

On Saturday November 17 I visited the Dartmouth model railroad show with my two youngest kids. I was pretty impressed with the displays - some really nice work there. The usual vendors were there and I walked away with a 3-pack of container cars and a signed copy of Jay Underwood's new book From Folly to Fortune: The Firing of James Richardson Forman. I look forward to reading it!

I put a bunch of photos in my gallery but here are a few for your enjoyment.









Here's a Lego train running around the layout. Note the display screen on the wall showing what the steam locomotive is seeing.


Kevin G took video of quite a bit of the show:
