Have Not Posted in Awhile

Funny, I just noticed I have not posted anything since December 2025. Life can sure get busy. I'll make sure I post something in April 2026.

Merry Christmas 2025 and Happy New Year 2026

Merry Christmas 2025 & Happy New Year 2026! The photo is a PRR advertisement entitled "Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year (the) Pennsylvania Railroad," date unknown.

Happy Labor Day 2025

Happy Labor Day 2025! This is from the PRR "Working Partners" by Jerome Rozen in 1946.

Number of Freight Cars vs. Layout Size

I just did a quick calculation for the number of freight cars vs. layout size. I'm coming up with 47 cars for the Cambridge Secondary Track layout.

You can do the same if you look at Joe Daniel Fugate's article from the October 2014 Model Railroad Hobbyist:

Paul Scot August's The Mondovi Line

Another great layout to look at is Paul Scot August's The Mondovi Line in HO Scale.

You can find his YouTube channel here:
