The
Alexander and Western
Railway
August 1, 2004- We have added a tractor to the layout. Now that
we have a tractor, we have to build a farm to use the tractor on. This is why we
should never go shopping at model train stores.
March 10, 2004- In an attempt to keep the wheels on my train
cars, I've decided that Alex needs his own layout to play with. Here are
progress pictures of how things are going.
The Alexander and Western Railway is an N scale
layout built on a 2 x 4 foot base. The oval track has a passing track and an
industrial siding. The landscaping includes a tunnel, a small mountain, a
pasture, a passenger station, an industrial building, a house and a river and
lake.

The newest item on the layout is the John Deere tractor. It is very
cool. Alex gave me one to put on my layout. |
The fence keeps falling down in the wind and the cows escape. These
are all that's left from the herd. The rest are appearing at a McDonalds
near you. |
The GP40 Alaska is our workhorse loco. |
We're partial to blue cars. |

Alex polishes the rails for reliable service. He is not happy about
it but tough luck. |

Here is the trainmaster with his world. |

The Santa Fe freight engine comes out of the tunnel. We had to trim
a lot of tunnel away to clear the engine. |
