Some
amazing hand made telephone poles and accessory for your layout. I visited
Dave in York and picked up some great poles for my layout. Absolutely some
great products.
One
of the leading O-gauge magazines. From here
you can join the OGR forum. It gets a bit crazy
sometimes but it is well moderated and you will have access to years of
Toy Trains experience. OGR Forum was going to initiate a "Pay
to Post" policy but the folks above decided to sponsor the board
instead. Be sure to visit them to say THANKS!
A magazine for O and S gauge
railroaders. Join the Classic Toy Trains Forum for more information,
pictures and Train discussion! This forum has gained some steam
and is another great community to belong to.
The
ModelTrainJournal Forum... This another forum full of
information, fun and trains! A little less moderated than the
other forums but still full of great information. Don't forget
once there to click on the Header to be taken to the main site!
There is a separate section to discuss more grownup and off topic threads
too!
OGaugeWatch.com
is the place to get the news on what's happening in O Gauge. The site
reports the facts without the commentary that goes with it. Lot's of great
information!
 Train
Collectors Association
The
Train Collectors Association is one of the oldest Train Clubs
today. The membership holds a wealth of information and their
National Convention will be held in Pittsburgh next year!
Toy Trains.Info has a great site and
links to many clubs including the TCA
A very pro Lionel page, but explains
and demos Command Control.
 
Pittsburgh's Carnegie Science Center Miniature
Railroad and Village. Worth the Trip.
The
Tiger Valley Railroad
A
unique 5" scale 17" gauge railroad on the property of Stuart Shurtleff

web pages. You'll see some here. You'll notice the Southern 2356 on the home
page and the Santa Fe below ! You can also click on the Santa Fe or the Hudson

Horizontal Rules as they prefer a link to the site in exchange for the use of

Congratulations
to "For Better or For Worse" for 25 years!
A great comic that I have
followed for years. So why is it here on a O gauge train page? The father of the
family is into model railroading about as bad as most of us and it is a classic
strip celebrating 25 years! I don't miss a day!
Norm Charbonneau has
a very cool O Gauge site. It was he that inspired my Phantom Purchase!
Norm has a great tips
page. Make sure you check it out while you're there!
Al
has been posting his projects on the MTJ Forum and he does some really nice
work. His web page has a ton of ideas and pictures that are sure to
inspire. Take a look!
Another
OGR Forum members personal page. A very interesting site with a look at
individual areas in progress.
LionelLines.net
is an collection of photos from a gentleman Frank53 who has been slowly
transforming a room into a Post War layout that is amazing to say the
least. A lot of scratch built scenery is incorporated into this around the
wall layout!
Larry LaJambe's Erehwon and
Saguaro Railroad.. Larry modeled his layout after the Southwestern United
States. Some might find this odd from a Great White Northerner but Larry
has gotten it perfect!

A
friend's Hi Railer Club site that I met through the CompuServe TrainNet

look at Lionel's Super O track System by Michael Spanier. If Super
O is your bag then I beg you to take a look! And if Super O is not
your thing take a look anyways!

love pages like this that give actual information on Real Trains.
They can help create a realistic scene on your pike!
