December Superintendent Message   Recently updated !

There’s so much more to this hobby than just “building trains in your basement!” At the train show I found a hat that matches my caboose! No, not that caboose, the caboose you see in the selfie! When I saw it I knew I needed it. Only after I bought it did […]


November Superintendent Message   Recently updated !

There’s so much more to this hobby than just “building trains in your basement!” I’ve been giving rides to kids (and sometimes their parents) on Halloween on my backyard railroad for about twenty years now! I’ve missed a few years because of bad weather and last year we were on a family […]


October Superintendent Message   Recently updated !

There’s so much more to this hobby than just “building trains in your basement!” Sometimes you go to someone else’s basement to play trains. 😀 This month I helped again at the Fall Festival in Saratoga Springs at Shay Park where we run 1 ½” scale trains that people can […]


September Superintendent Message

There’s so much more to this hobby than just “building trains in your basement!” This month’s selfie finds me back up in Evanston this time with HO Free-mo – the 9th Annual Mountain States Free-mo Event. Guys came from California, Utah, Colorado, Nebraska, I think Texas and probably a few others I’m […]

There’s so much more to this hobby than just “building trains in your basement!” This month’s selfie is actually a selfie collage! Just a few of the selfies I took at E24. While I had great fun running trains, I enjoyed even more interacting with friends I hadn’t seen in awhile as […]

July Superintendent Message

There’s so much more to this hobby than just “building trains in your basement!” I have several selfies to choose from this month but here you find me with the OT&W visiting the Tintic mining district (part of the club’s namesake.) We drove to Eureka, then one the prior mayors, and […]


June Superintendent Message

There’s so much more to this hobby than just “building trains in your basement!” I was watching a show where the dad said, “Here, you take a selfie of me.” and the mom replied, “I don’t think you know what a selfie is.” This is one of those situations. Keith took a selfie of me with […]


May Superintendent Message
