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.

Fall PA Trip


Here are two of the photos from our recent Fall trip to the Horseshoe Curve area in PA. The top photo is from the Curve, while the second pic is also from a curve, this time Mance Curve, near Sand Patch, PA on the old B&O route. About a dozen of us from several states meet twice annually at the Station Inn Bed & Breakfast in Cresson, PA. This year, we were about a week behind the peak period for the color, but still managed to find some good patches. For more photos of the PA trip, you can go to http://billlinson.rrpicturearchives.net/archivethumbs.aspx?id=61776.

David James and Ken Heyl show up Saturday for several days of model railroad building; most of the lower level and virtually all of the electronics should be done when they leave.
