HenkeOne often hears the statement, “I justdon’t have enough room for it” or “ I lovethe detail and realism of O scale, but...”.Some then go on to fill half a room withHO layouts, which although very nice, justcan’t match the authenticity of the “Kingof Scales.” Others claim that the cost of Oscale is just too high (arguably a justifiableclaim) and then proceed to spend largeamounts of cash on numerous HO enginesand rolling stock or on a few high-priced,brass HO products.Alex Azary’s Dayton and MichiganNorthern Railway and TransportationCompany (D.A.M.N.), a former Pennsybranch line, on which Ann Arbor Railroadhas trackage rights, is an answer to thosewho just don’t seem to be able to make thestep to O scale.Alex, a man of many interests, convert-ed to O scale in 1976 after being involvedin HO for a number of years. He has devel-oped his skills over the past 60 plus years,repairing, rebuilding and painting modelsfor himself and others. In 1990, he movedto a new home and because of limitedspace had to downsize his layout to itspresent L-shaped 23 feet long by 10 feet friend’s layout with 84 inch radius curves.Much of Alex’s present collection ofwide size, the southern 10 ft of which nar-rows to 6 ft wide. A workshop, a den and engines is based on experiences from thean area for Mrs. Azary’s hobbies forced past. As a child living in Dayton, Ohio,Alex to improvise in the small area indicated. Alex and friends used to bum rides on aOver the past 12 years, Alex has built PRR B6sb switcher at the sidings on Day-and modified his layout and collection, He ton’s west side. Alex fell in love with thehas constantly upgraded his roster of Pennsy Atlantic #460 (the so called Lind-engines and rolling stock through trades bergh engine) after seeing Charles Lind-and purchases following the lineage of bergh fly over his home after his returnMax Gray through U.S. Hobbies and from Europe. A Max Gray model fills theWestside models to Iron Horse models, niche. Pulling his ore train is a Kemtronwith side trips to Overland, Precision Scale Wabash Mogul.

He still main-tains a beloved PennsyQ2, but it just can’tmake it around thecurves on Alex’s layoutso it is stabled on aAn Ann Arbor GP35 (Overland) stops at Ann Arbor Station.

Westbound track with “clear” signal.is housed in the National Trans-portation Museum in St. Louis,Missouri. Alex has a HO scalemodel of the Wabash Mogul andat one time owned a 1.5 inchscale live steam model of thesame engine. A second Mogul isa Pennsylvania F-3 built byGem. Other smaller enginesinclude a pair of PennsylvaniaB1 “Rats” by 3rd Rail, and anOverland Whitcomb 44 tondiesel known as the Ann Arbor“1 Spot”. Two GP-35 diesels byOverland (one lettered PRR, theother Ann Arbor) complete thediesel roster.Alex has long been a tractionfan and, in fact, when he movedto his new home he started outbuilding an interurban layout.This was necessitated by thesmall space and the tight curvesthat arose out of that situation.The initial layout utilized truescale road bed that was found tobe too limiting and so Alex con-verted to cork road bed withAtlas flex track.He found, however, that hecould not abandon his love ofrailroading and particularly ofthe Pennsylvania Railroad. Thus the dual-purpose layout hasevolved. The D.A.M.N. Railway Trolley Museum, complete witha trolley barn and overhead wires, allows him to run a fine collec-tion of interurban models based on prototypes from both East andWest coasts, as well as several from in between. An Eastern Mass.Street Railway snowbrush, a prototype of which can be found inthe Sea Shore Trolley Museum in Kennebunkport, Maine, repre-sents the East. The West is represented by a Pacific Electric 1000series “Big Red Car”. Several other trolleys make up the museumcollection. Recently acquired Divi-sion Point Rail Diesel Cars (RDCs)fit nicely in the Ann Arbor Michiganlocale. RDCs were once used on theJackson to Ann Arbor, Michigan,commuter line. These cars areamong Alex’s favorites.Although a variety of passengerrolling stock has resided on theD.A.M.N. in the past, currently pas-senger operations are limited to theOverview of P.V. Tower, powerhouse, Noble-Onee Packing Company, Jiffy Mix grain storage(a Chelsea, Michigan landmark), and the TrolleyMuseum with Pennsy GP35 on mainline.The Pennsy B 1 “Rats” on the main pass by awarehouse near the engine facility.

AFeather River Lumber Company Shay (Max Gray) is on thesidetrack. The “reefer” in front of the packing company is aCustom Brass model.Trolley Museum and its inhabitants. For senti-mental reasons Alex does retain a GI Pullmanpassenger car (in which he rode many milesduring WWII) and a Wabash heavyweight(because of its past connection with the AnnArbor railroad). The present layout featuresmainly freight operations, with a variety ofhoppers, boxcars, gondolas, tank cars, and cabooses,Carefully selected and weathered structures and accessoryvehicles accent the 1950s venue. Pennsylvania Railroad style sig-nal towers give the railroad a distinct Pennsy flavor, as do the over-head wires, The setting is a combination of the Ann Arbor areaand an elevated Pennsylvania mining town, which is situated atopa hill traversed by a two-track tunnel,Alex’s wife, Jan, a miniaturist and artist, has supplied the artis-tic talent that has converted a somewhat ordinary layout into aThe Ann Arbor GP-35 (Overland Models) heading into a tunnel beneath the Village of Itsall.The B6b is exiting the tunnel.Sept/Oct '03 - O Scale Trains •5 [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
