A Fictional History - Part I / White Water Western, 1878 - 1895
Planning for a free-lanced model railroad may seem pretty straight forward, just come up with a name, a general locale, and a track plan. I've always envied prototype modelers since they have a set history to follow so I decided to have a history of my own. Our model railroad will depict two free-lanced pikes; the White Water Western, a mining turned regional line, and the Arizona Pacific, a Class I line traversing Arizona and southern California. Here is my start on the history of these two lines.

Building on Borrowed Time
Howdy All, I've been reading MRH for almost a year now and have only recently started posting. That's simply because I don't have much to say for the most part and I enjoy sitting back reading what others have to say on topics of the greatest hobby in the world... model railroading!

Here as I promised, my N Scale layout in operation. Recording with my Blackberry Playbook did not do the sound justice, especially the bass. Hope this interests someone.
More on the Triple W and the Arizona Pacific... Almost!
Human nature is a pretty predictable creature. We dive head first into a project, expect it to take a certain amount of time, and then easily get distracted. That's what is happening to me. I've been writing a history for our two fictional pikes, but everything else keeps getting in the way. Ah, ain't life grande!
Sipping & Switching Module Construction
I probably have some other photos earlier in the construction phase of our six foot modules, but for now, this is the stage where the top, ends, sides and ribs (short cross-wise pieces) and spines (two length-wise pieces)are all assembled and ready and to accept the waffle underside. Photo taken Aug. 8, 2012.
History of the Kilkenny Railroad Part II: The Androscoggin River
Along the corridor of the Kilkenny logging railroad the Androscoggin River flows eastward. The Androscoggin River is one of the largest rivers in New England spanning over 170 miles across New Hampshire and Maine. By the mid-1800’s the Androscoggin was home of some of the world’s largest paper mills.
