Considering Halloween is coming up, have you ever thought of how this time of year also begins to reveal ghosts of railroads past? In southern New England especially, as the beautiful foliage starts to diminish, old railroad roadbeds start to emerge and it's easier to imagine what it must've been like when those lines were still active.

Hello! :) A video from the 3rd annual H0 Forum member meeting in Hamburg, Germany.

As a smaller regional railway running through mostly undeveloped wilderness territory, the Algoma Central Railway had an interesting passenger car fleet consisting of secondhand equipment from multiple other roads.

With a regular passenger service running over the 295 mile length of the railway as well as a popular and well-patronized tourist train to a railway-developed park in the scenic Agawa Canyon (only accessible by rail), there was a pretty large and varied collection of coach cars on the roster.

Hello Everyone,

It is good to be back. I've been in hiatus for about a year or two now. I had to get life back in order. Life gets on the way and interrupts the model railroad world. I just wanted to report that I still have my O scale switching layout and enjoying every bit of it.

This week we're looking at guttering.

Now that the bench work, track work, and wiring are finally completed on my layout, I can finally run some real trains again, instead of just shifting things back and forth. I've been playing around with the car cards and waybills I'll be using for operating sessions in the near future, but thought I'd take a break and make my first video of the completed mainline run. 

For those who have been following my posts up to this point, thanks for your comments and encouragement. I hope the wait to this point was worth it. 

Hey y'all,

How I Built My Lift Bridge and short layout tour next video will be more in depth layout tour

I've had my railroad running for well over a year and have been using my Digitrax DCS50 control to operate the trains.  This meant that I needed to walk back and forth between it and my turnouts / trains to uncouple cars.  The other day I accidently ran into my UR92 wireless panel and figured "Why not go ahead and mount it so I can use my DT402 throttle?

I mounted the panel behind my hinged fascia section and now I can run my trains using my wireless throttle! - what a concept!
