I was gone quite awhile (still have been reading stuff though) due to parents telling me to take a break. Haven't had  a chance to do much railroading but just read one of the latest Model Railroad Magazine and saw the club by me EMRRC (Elmhurst Model Railroad Club) has their N scale layout wired up for touchscreen computer control seems like a worthwhile trip since it is only a 20 minute drive just have to get my parents to take me out there.

I added the text to these--

Many people model coal mines but not the interior if any of you know anybody who has or do could ou send me some pictures or information it would be greatly appreciated. thanks

One thing that I see rarely modelled that I think would be really interesting to model would be coal mines. I do not mean the movement of coal from the mine to other industries but what happens inside the mine like moving people and coal to and from the tipple you could even add a short main line for the main railroad to take coal to an offlayout industry if anyboady has ever done this I would love to see pictures so if possible please let me know and post some pictures thanks.

Here are some imgaes of my Lego storage shelf look for more in the upcoming issue

Please comment if you like it thanks.

Well I am back already with more to write about this time this a thing just to post any random facts you can think of whether it be your favortie engine (or engines (mine are the crcodile and big boy)) or a new restoration here is your place to put it. 

Well here I am again today talking about how tight knit the railroad comunity is I have noticed that they are always there for eachother and are willing to help. Recently someone even sent me a nice e-mail with and article and cardstock model something that would commonly not be done in other comunities. We as a group how now overall grown from before when we would only work with the people in our town and the conventions were much smaller so we really have come a long way.

I have a limited busdget and any donated/ for sale ho scale products would be appreciated please comment or e-mail me at curramck000@gmail.com

I must say that this magazine is great it is high quality and a good group of people and they always reply very promptly. If anybody else has experiences like this I reallly do think we should thanks the for their hard work

I love to see all the comments I recive and especially the fact that they are all nnice a tthing I have noticed from the model railroad community. If you can look at my other posts I am looking for some HO scale supplies cheap/donated or some chicago area operating sessions.
