Gord’s Model Railroad.
That’s the name on the sign that’s going to be on it.
Gordon
Scale: HO
Name: Backwood’s Timber
Year: 1900-1920-ish
Size: 40x12
Seleinan Lines, It’s a fictional Canadian Metropolis located east of Toronto in Ontario, The line focuses on commuter operations in the Greater Selene Meto Area as well as the corridor to Toronto and Montreal. The trackage is CP and CN but most of the trains are either GO Transit or The Selenian Lines Comission.
The basic idea of the line is that I wanted to model Toronto in look and feel but not street by street, and I wanted to use some of my own architecture. It’s really what would happen if I could design a major city.
Loneview
it will have Loneview Grains, Croix Brewing, and some other industry. it will be HO scale on a 4x8 foot layout. i have yet to come up with the back story for it but i’m working on it. also i’m planning the layout right now to. have 2-3 designs so far.
The Erie,St.Paul & Pacific;era 1917-2003.In World War 1 the government realized there were bottlenecks at Chicago and the East Coast,so the government allowed the Erie and Milwaukee to merge to speed up traffic.There is also a Fiddleton & Copperopolis branchline cause I love the cartoons about it.
My railroad is called the Eastern Central. Its nice and generic. The name is actually a holdover from my original HO layout (I`m in N now). Its a good name for a regional, which I model.
“Abbinagh , Wurke and Ondaggh Railroad”
Ya gotta say it out loud to get it. I know it’s hokey. My layout is still under construction ( I suppose that’s redundant, whose isn’t ) and has no prototype. It is loosely modelled after southern Ontario in the mid-20th century so there’s an overlap of steam and diesel. It’s on a 9 x 13 ft, roughly an “E” shape.
I still have a long way to go before it’s up and running and the name may change by then but for now it’s a good working name.
Did I mention it’s HO ?
Mine is the
DETROIT-VASSOR-SAGINAW R R
In HO
Commonwealth Transportation Railways
(Brunner Subdivision)
HO Scale
Present Era
Ferkel Lines RR (Engli***he Ferkel means “small pig”)
It should be a logging railroad sometimes around 1930. As I am quite far from US my RR has no real prototype, rather based on experiences I collected on many US RR.
The layout is small, transportable, based on 6 small modules and almost everything is scratchbuild (mainly from wood and metal).
Have a look.
[^][^][^] That’s terrific… [8D] is it said with an accent or a drunken slur ? love the creativity.
my HO scale r/r is named CAST-AWAY (& Discarded) like most of the pieces that were in a box for 20 years. Gilligan is the engineer, the SS Minnow is sunk in the la Goon waterway.
Thanks Krump. I guess the name sounds more like Wales than Ontario but I like it. No hooch, no accent, ya just gotta say it fast. Thanks for your input.
Now if I could just figure out how to reply with the quote like you did I’d be all set.
Nice talking to you.
Well I decided on my name Just this morning:
Name:Monterey & Rockford
A fictional railroad that arose in the early 1900’s to service My Birth City and the city i was raised in. It is a fully fuctional passenger service that has surived to this day, hence it now operates Modern passenger trains, and give Amtrak a run for it’s money in quality and service.
Now to just decide on the paint sceme and lettering.
i now have track plans which are from this book on small layouts from kalmbach its the Portland Central layout. i will do some modifying of it but for the most part thats what it will be. i will change the name of course as i don’t live close to Portland or want to have that name in my layout. i will probably put in a yard or some sort just to make it exciting.
The Union Pacific in HO,1940-1945, near Sherman Hill and Chyenne, Wyoming. It may have some short line spinoff railroad that delivers the cars to the industries. I’m thinking of “Wyoming Central” or “Chyenne Central”.
i called my layout Hunterville which is in the fictious country of Boblonia in south america somewhere all the stuff says suth pacific
codyr
Well Iam just getting started and havent even layed my bench work yet. But I have on paper, My layout will be a freelance model. The name of the RR will be named after my step son CBRR Colton Brown Rail Road. The small town after my wife Tiffany, Im running two lines one serving apower plant, and the other serving the logging industry. All on a 4x8 model in N scale.
The Joey Ohio Railroad(JORR)
That was my nickname growing up.I am going to redo my layout and have matts Yard(my son)so we can work on it together. He knows how to couple cars and its hard to get him out of the hoggers seat.(and hes only 2).Mostly B&O CSX and N&W equipment but other rr’s as well.my motto is where all great railroads meet.
stay safe
Joe
