Title: The railroad runs through the middle of the house
Post by: trainman203 on January 28, 2023, 10:23:57 AM
My layout is only 15 inches wide but it is 50 feet long and runs through two walls to occupy 2 1/2 rooms in the house. The house is so small that this  is the only way I could get anything meaningful Model Railroad wise going in the house, wanting more realistic operations than a 4 x 8 could afford.

Today, I remembered this record I had heard as a kid. It is very appropriate for my Model Railroad.

I remember that song. It's been a long, long time since I've heard it.

There are several recordings of that song, made in the late steam era. That one has the best whistle of them all, a Southern Pacific six chime!! My all-time favorite locomotive Whistle!! Really sounds like it Business!
