Welcome to the home of the Spindletop Railroad!

Follow along as I try to create a freelanced railroad and build my first HO scale layout. I hope to write a blog that helps others in building layouts, detailing engines, and creating their own railroads while identifying the road bumps to avoid and the fun aspects of model railroading to look forward to!

2015 Layout and Club Visits, End of 2015

This year was a good one for model railroading for a lot of us!  Since this is most likely my last post for the year, I think it appropriate to show off some of the local layouts and clubs and showcase their talents.

First up are some images of the local layouts.  Yes this is a picture heavy post...  Sorry mobile users.






















Next are images from my favorite club, the Byan College Station Model Railroad Society!  (Yes some of these are my trains).











And on the SRR layout front, I have gotten the second module out of storage.  Some plans have changed at home and we aren't moving for a little while, so I got the corner out of storage.  It definitely needs some sceney!  I also used some birthday funds and purchased some non-working signals.  These are from Atlas and are the type G signals that are prevalent on SP trackage like the SRR runs on.  There are several surviving even on the Sunset line between Beaumont and Houston!  While they do not work, they still look great andhelp set the stage!

Finally, the random image.


This is the Conrail heritage locomotive by Norfolk Sourhern.  I had seen her once before but only technically.  This time she was out in the open wanting to be photographed, so I obliged.

Until next time, have a great rest of the year!  See you in 2016!
