Welcome to my blog about the development, construction, and operation of my HO scale model railroad. The focus of the railroad will be passenger train operations during the steam-diesel transition era.
The layout is still in the planning stage.
I am still on my quest to find the perfect passenger station to base my railroad on, whether it be real or imagined.

Wordless Wednesday #4
A collection of locomotives at the Cincinnati Union Terminal locomotive servicing yard, circa 1956.
When you announced the switch to Cincinnati, I did a Google search and this was one of the first images I came across. That picture alone sold me on your idea!
Same here! There was a brief moment after I decided to abandon the Cleveland idea where I was just going to freelance a fictional union terminal concept served by multiple railroads, allowing me to pick and choose my road names based on model availability. When I saw this and a couple other similar pictures, I immediately noticed the PRR and C&O together and realized I could use all that passenger equipment I have for both lines.
