Fred E Model Railroad

Description

I retired in 2015 and needed a hobby. I started the original 4x8 in April 2017 using 25 yr old DC equipment. I completed my original 4x8 layout in the Fall, 2018. I started this channel in January 2019. Watch a slideshow on history of the original 4x8 layout in my Playlist.

I got 'hooked' on the hobby so in early 2019, I decided I needed expand to a second 4x8 layout and move to DCC. June 2020 the second layout was mostly done. Mostly is the key word! In 2021 I expanded to 6x16 and removed the old brass track and snap switches.

In Oct 2023 I decided to strip my layout and start over. I’ve incorporated mountains, tunnels, and bridges in this new layout.

During the summer, I work on a large basement layout in our condo basement in New Hampshire. I named this layout ‘Iowa Southern Railroad’. It represents BNSF across southern Iowa.
