Yes. 350' of HO track and layout. Keeps me somewhat busy in winter.
I model mostly TH&B. But also all freight and locos that ran on this RW.
NYC, Penn Central, CP, Conn Rail, G&E, etc.
I'm in Stratford Ont that used to be one of the main repair and maintenance facilities for CN steam in the east.
Always loved late 40's to mid 60's era.
Also into American Muscle Cars. Traded last one in on a C8 HTC.

That sounds terrific! Our son and I enjoy looking at model railroads. He especially is a RR buff and has travelled extensively by rail in Canada, England, Japan and a bit in the U.S. so far. He is beginning to consider France and Germany in the not too distant future.
My Corvette is just a scruffy '87, but I also have a rough '77 Firebird Formula 400, decent '84 Camaro Z28 and my all time favourite.... '68 AMX.

You just never know what is going to shut rail service down. Attack of the monstrous cats.

So what is the history of TH&B? What years did it run? Who bought them out?
