Maybe it is becausemy grandfather worked inmanagement for the South-ern Railway in Atlanta, Geor-gia. Thanks to him and thepasses my family received,we traveled by rail a lot,mainly up and down the eastcoast. I remember standingon the open platform of an observation car watching the con-ductor dropping fusees ontothe ties to let the next trainknow we were ahead of them. Ithink that the smell of coalsmoke from the steam engineand the noise and motion ofthe train got into my blood as itsurrounded us on the open reardeck. I still loved riding thetrains even after the enginesbecame diesels and the obser-vation car was enclosed. Rid-ing on the French TGV at 185mph is the only thing that cameclose to the thrill of yesteryear.I have had some form ofmodel railroad for most of mylife starting with AmericanFlyer. I guess that is why I am a 2 rail fan. For many years I wasinto HO and really enjoyed working with that scale. Then oneday, 20 years ago, I saw a 2 rail O Scale layout and WOW, Iwas hooked. Everything just seemed more realistic and sound-ed that way, too. I found a dry basement here in Florida and ithad a house on top of it. I was happy. As with most model rail-roads it started off small and grew and grew, just like the realrailroads did.My railroad, the SOUTHERN, is a fictitious connecting rail-road consisting of my favorite railroads. Naturally, the South-ern Railway is my favorite. The other roads are N&W, C&O,ACL, SCL, and the FEC.4•O Scale Trains - Mar/Apr’ 04Being a connecting railroad makes it possi-ble to have all sorts of different equipment.Both steam and diesel fit in the period andgive a contrast to the changing times. I haveyet to go modern, but it has been tempting tobuy some of the neat cars I see running upand down the FEC as I travel around town.Most of my 1000 feet of track work is Atlasflex and the 80-plus switches are from OldPullman with Switchmaster motors. I havemade quite a few sidings for local switchingwork, which is one of my favorite things todo. I have a large double stub ended yard formy main freight yard and a smaller yard onthe upper level where the locals pick up theirorders.Another operation I like to do is alooooong train with upwards of 80 freightcars and helpers in the rear. I like to videothese trains because on the tape they seemand sound quite real. There’s nothing like aC&O H-8 slowly grinding up a 2% grade witha heavy load or a N&W Y6b with a long loadof hoppers. I remember seeing the Y6b’sgoing only 15 mph with car after car of coalslowly following them. Them were the days!Dirty ones, too!The SOUTHERN has 5 passenger trainsthat have to share the mainline and, just likethe good ole days, they take the right of way.The main freight yard is choked with about200 cars and I am in the process of down-Mar/Apr’ 04- O Scale Trains •5 [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
