Another soothing hobby of mine is the planning and execution of my own model railroad layout. I model the present Conrail freight lines that are native to my area, in HO scale. I have one bedroom devoted to the layout, and it is under constant construction. Get on the track and follow these links to many sites for ideas and supplies.
