My favorite hobby is Real and Model Trains. Pictured above is the New York Central station in Syracuse NY.
Steam is the best for me but Diesel will do also. I have an outdoor G-Scale 1:29 layout with around 200 feet of main line track with sidings and yards. I also have a small MTH HO Christmas display at the Holiday season primarily with steam passenger and Freight trains with village.(Sound is awesome) I belong to the CNYLSRS which has a club layout at Drivers Village in Cicero, NY where our trains can be run in the winter time.
The primary rail line is the New York Central Railroad in both scales. My childhood was spent going to work with dad, Uncle Jim and Grandfather Carl. Going to work with dad in the Minoa, East Syracuse was fun but getting to ride on the 20th Century Limited in the late 1940's and early 1950's E-7/8 diesel blowing the grade crossings to Buffalo and back was still to this day the most exciting way to get trains in your blood.
