Welcome to all!

Hey everyone,

Welcome to my site for model railroading. I model Norfolk & Western, and Norfolk Southern in HO. I currently run two layouts, the Norfolk & Western's Pond Creek branch (under construction), and Norfolk Southern's Pomona Spur, in Greensboro, NC.

Keep scrolling down for more pictures and updates.

My blog is also located at the bottom of the page.

Enjoy (:

Why Model Railroad?

Why model railroading? Well you can simulate what you seen as a kid, things that are fond to you when you were growing up, or that engineer waiving to you from the cab, or the conductor, or that first ride on a passenger train that sets an impression. You learn many skills, painting the models, assembling the models, electronic skills and computer skills, painting the back drops, building dioramas where you represent a particular scene in the country or city, operating electronic effects, carpentry skills, scenery skills, i mean you name it, model railroading offers it all in one package, and as I mentioned in another video folks from your average joe, to royalty, to cops and military or firefighters to real railroaders, to heads of state and entertainers, so it's not a hobby for kids when you see it on this scale.
