Model Train Journal

Howdy all I've been in NJ the last few weeks. We went up there to show the baby to family & I worked out of the NJ office. Also got to take my son to his first Yankees game Was able to get in some railfanning as well! Haven't even touched trains in a while, but I did order 2 building kits for industries so I'll need to get going on those once they arrive & get you guys some pics!

Can anyone remember being so new to the world everything you discover has never been seen by you before! ...everything!
Cool photos of your children Christopher.

Was the snow so deep here that someone snagged their snowshoe on the line and left it behind?

Love the Railboxes, Christopher:



I don't see them so much any more on the old B&O mainline heading into Baltimore.

Me too. I notice the second Railbox is "Standard O" size the rest "Traditional" size. Most people do not run the two sizes together because it does not look right. If you do run them in the same consist and someone comments, just show them Christopher's railbox photo to prove running different size boxcars is protypical.
