Welcome to the Spitton, Bailey and Wyre Railroad!
We'll get you there even if we have to get out and push!
This is my little peice of cyber space.
In the next few months, I'll be posting pics of my projects and rolling stock that is being aquired slowly.
My layout is in the planning stages as my family attempts to buy a home that is:
- Not $300k (I'm not made of money);
- Doesn't have a finished basement (a.k.a. train room).
Guess there's been a change of plans... looks like my job is transferring to Dallas, so no basement more than likely...however i should be able to afford some acreage there. Can you say 2-car garage for a train room? I sure can...
I also hope to come up with a logo that is somewhat whimsicle and somewhat professional. [Update: 2/04/06 - Logo Done!!! (obviously)]
My prototype is loosly based on the Camas Prairie RR in Northern ID.
I will list a more complete list of my "Givens and Druthers" when I have more time.
For now, I can say that I will have:
Here is my current Layout
I know that it is pretty pathetic, but I needed something to run locos on to keep them tuned.
NCE PowerCab for DCC and and an OLD MRC 770N for DC ops.
It is a 2x6x8 mounted to the back of racks the wife is using for a pantry. Just one more way that she supports my "habit"...
Just in case the housing market doesn't allow a home purchase by the end of summer, permits have been approved by my local authority (my better half) for the purposes of railroad right-of-way in the other half of the basement.
This area is roughly 9'x14' with a possible 5' expansion to 19' for "fiddle yards" or staging. This area is behind the wife's craft area, so i don't want to conflict with her in her space.
My current stable of engines:
That is all for now.
A few Links to other sites:

The place for all sorts of answers! A great forum for Model RR's (the best IMHO)
