Another site you might like to look at if you're planning to delve into model railroading is train photos from Greg's site about building a model railroad. (See the sidebar in the right column about how Greg built his website).

Your story remembered is a website where you can share your stories and photos about your hobby.

Don't forget to bookmark this page so you can find your way back here! 

Another subject that I've always been interested in is photography. I've retired my darkroom and gone fully digital. If you would like to improve your picture taking or learn about using a digital camera, consider this program by Dan Feildman:

And if you're serious about taking photos, invest in a digital single lens reflex (DSLR) camera that allows you to change lenses. This way you can control both closeups in the basement and long shots on the right-of-way. Check out my  model train photography tips.

Webcams

There are cameras on the Internet take videos of passing trains. You may be familiar with the crossing at Rochelle, Illinois accessible from the Trains.com website where you can view BNSF and Union Pacific trains. They also have another webcam of the Norfolk Southern Railway at Roanoke, Virginia. You may not be familiar with this one covering locations on the Union Pacific that was referenced in Model Railroader magazine in December, 1977. I last checked the site in December, 2008 and it was still operating. Try it for yourself. 

Feel free to use any of my photos. If you have train photos you'd be willing to share with other modelers around the world, go to my  Contact page to send me an email to let me know what you have.
