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.

P & LE Makes Acquisition


The Paducah & Lake Erie has made an acquisition from the defunct Buckeye Western Railroad, purchasing two engines, a GP 40 and a GP 40-2 (both Atlas), and four pieces of rolling stock, a 50' box car, a high-side gon, and two MOW cars. The engines are slotted for yard work, and the rolling stock will be integrated into the P&LE operations. Now, on to track laying.
