Green Town Illinois Railroad
Where does this start?
With a boy called Douglas Spaulding who is mostly Ray Bradbury but really is every boy, and it begins with a summer when he discovered how much magic and tragedy the world could hold in a place called Green Town Illinois in a book called Dandelion Wine. The year is 1928 and there is a trolley that sparks its way around town for a few chapters at least until its final ride.
Reflections on Comstock, McGuirk, and Fictional Histories
In the latest issue of MRH, contributing editor Charlie Comstock touched on what he referred to as the 'summer doldrums.' I used to look upon such concepts as a simple excuse for not getting anything done. A way of justifying a break from working on a layout. Years ago, a neighbor of mine used to get aggravated in a similar way.
Renew Model Railroader
So my MRM subscription is expiring. I am considering not renewing because of MRH. I am able to find the same information in both, and MRH is free. When I am looking for something specific, I start with the advertisers at MRH. So I think I am going to save the $42 and put that money towards my railroad and continue to get my info from MRH. Thanks for being free!!!!
Railflyer - BEWARE!
I am just wondering if there is anyone else out there with a similer experience.
... and we're back!
I made it back from the convention in one piece. Next time I won't dither so long in deciding whether to go or not. I missed out on the Mt. Rainier railroad excursion, that would have been super cool. But it was still an amazing time!
The loop and lookout rr
Well i am back. Going through bankruptcy is a pain. But now things are looking better. Hope by spring or summer i can get my shed built so i can start up my new layout. Will have a 8X10, So it should be big enough for my layout. Should be getting some kits for kit bashing and some that i like for the way they are. The loop and lookout rr is a kind of rip off of a logging and coal train back in West Virginia not far from where our family lived. Its no longer there. I added some features from another ghost town called Spruce. Lots of research on it.
