This blog is to document the building of a model railroad, the Paducah and Lake Erie. The free-lance design is set in the current time, and meant to replicate the coal-hauling roads of southwestern Pennsylvania. This version of the P&LE is a bridge line that derives its name from my wife's home town (and well known to Illinois Central buffs) and our former long time residence about 50 miles south of Lake Erie.

Introduction

This is my blog to document the building of my third model railroad, the third edition of the Paducah and Lake Erie. It will start with a brief review of the concept, a look at the second edition, its deconstruction in Ohio because of a move, and the newest rendition here in suburban St. Louis.

The HO model railroad is a free-lanced railroad that is primarily a coal-hauling bridge line set in the Allegheny Mountains of western Pennsylvania. I will periodically post photos and comments showing the progress of construction. I hope you enjoy it and welcome your comments.
