So I have a six-page history paper due in... eight hours. And what does that mean? Time to post some pictures! Grin These were from a while ago, soon after I got my SLR. A model train club had an "expo" so to speak, so my dad, brother and I headed over to see what was going on. Pretty in-depth, though a bit of a strange hobby in my opinion. Then again, taking pictures of airplanes seems like an odd hobby to most. Smiley

Brand, as in maker of the models ?   I have a few, old Athearns and a couple of  LifeLike Proto2000 locomotives.

If you mean which railroad ?  I'm modeling a branch-line of the old B&O for the mainline. Most of my operations will be of a fictional take-off of the old DT&I...  serving a town or two.. some logging and a sawmill.

I'll get some photos up soon..
