Show me something set in the 1950s.
Matt from Anaheim, CA and Bayfield, COClick Here for my model train photo website
My dad built this model of our old church about 1950 to raise awareness for the building fund. Built from plywood with "hardware cloth" for the window muntins. Aprroximately O scale.
The new church was built- and torn down 20 years ago,. The old church- 3 congregations later- still exists. Model was in church "history room." I need to find a new home for it. Might be useful on an outdoor railroad.
The prototype church in Houston (50 feet from a real railroad line that is still active) and an N scale rendition...as it would have appeared in 1950s in a small town.
Show me something with a story about your DAD.
My dad's Cab Forward (in the background). It fits better on my southwest railroad than on his michigan railroad so it's residing at my house for a while.

Check out the Deming Sub by clicking on the pics:
This old Lionel along with tender and a few cars was bought for me in 1953 by my mother. My folks had divorced and I was living with my Grandmother for a while until things got sorted out.
She wanted me to have something to do.
It still runs on a shelf around the room in the computer room
Show me something about a brother or sister
My oldest sister is a Deacon in the Episcopal Church and ran, for many years, a boarding house for foreign students attending high School in South Bend, Indiana. So since the Layout is set in 1925, here I have her running a Bed and Breakfast in Hopewell Junction. You can see her sitting on the porch reading the Bible.....
Show me something about a son or daughter (your children).
Here is a 1996 photo of me with my [now 16yr-old] daughter. She loved hanging out with Daddy in the train room, especially after the layout was completed and trains were running!
