Welcome to
MartyE.com, home to Kodiak Junction, the fictional little town that time
forgot. Named after my beloved friend Kodi the Husky Dog, Kodiak Junction
lets me get away from real life and let the trains roll! Keep an eye out
as Kodi wanders into pictures every now and then in miniature form.
I have been
collecting and operating Lionel, MTH, K-Line and others for almost my entire
life. My father set up his modest layout at Christmas every year and my brother
and sisters always helped out. When I married and moved into my own home I
started my own tradition of a holiday layout, only I got bitten by the train
"bug" and started to gather quite a collection.
I own mostly Lionel with
Command Control and modern Lionel accessories. I do have and continue to buy
Lionel post-war but the Command Control items have kept my interest lately. Most
of my MTH items are rolling stock and accessories. At this point I own only a
couple of MTH engines and have incorporated the DCS Command system onto my
layout as well to get the most out of them.
My layout is certainly not
anything huge or complex as the room available to me is small but I use this
space to refine and work on skills that I will need when I do have the room to
expand Kodiak Junction into a big life of it's own! I currently have Ross
Switches, Lionel Tubular track, as well as DCS and Legacy Command
Components. The power to my layout is supplied by 2 PW ZW transformers and
1 PWC ZW Controller. The over under design allows for a longer run in a
short amount of space using O54 curves for the one loop. The other loop
stays high and has a siding for parking trains. The third loop stays low
and has a decent tunnel to traverse. The contracting is done by
Lionel, MTH and Plasticville.
This website has changed a bit
and I do hope to continue to offer some tips that will help all O Gauge
Railroaders. Through my own experiences and those of others I hope to
achieve someday that "Ultimate Railroad".
So sit back and browse.
