It's real and please send me a PM with your info

For me it's a case of being in West Michigan and having to drive as least an hour to get to any shows other than the one left in GR. I switched to N-Scale a few years ago, and found Facebook groups that have auctions on a regular basis. I'm the current Superintendent of my local NMRA Division and we...

The old M&NE yard was up in that area. Been gone a LONG time

Looking for info on how the Ann Arbor and C&O handled the interchange back in the late 60's. Did locals do the work or was it the road train

Thanks for posting the photo, we have that one and have been thinking that the signal shown was a train order signal.

Looking for info on what the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern used for interlocking signals The Grand Rapids Model Railroad Historical Society is adding where they crossed the Pm at Lamar. We want to get the correct signals.

Was able to go to the Riverbend Train show this last Saturday at the Home School building. The first thing I noticed was that it's a much smaller show then I remember it. Anybody else notice this?

How was the show? Planned on going ended up helping at church instead.

Nope Mqt went north earlier, this was the red/gray engine and it just went back south past me about 14:38 today

I think the GRE just went north thru Comstock Park with open hoppers.
