Topic: Third rail model railroading

	Model Railroading
		Although the railroad is not complete by any means, and scenery is sorely lacking, the basic concept and thought have developed a series of locations on the model that reflect real life.
		The third photo shows the elevated passenger station platform of the L and N Station that replaced the old train shed when the grade separation was built in 1930.
		On the model railroad, the 12" wide fold up shelf fills in the space in front of the elevated grade separation track and this front, lower level represents the tracks that parallel the grade separation from Morris Avenue to about 5th Avenue South.

	Taubenberg Rail Park
		Model railroading in particular can be "low tech" when compared to my professional pursuits, which means it can be relaxing and relatively free of tedium.
		Since the layout had two blocks (and a third in progress) a train could switch directions by means of the figure eight.
		The theme of the layout is a rail park with a regular rail route around its perimeter, since small radius curves are more believable in a rail park setting.

	RR Groaners
		In an unusual life-imitates-art situation, the UP said it had observed model railroads where a track gauge of five scale feet and wider wheels led to fewer derailments than on model railroads that used exact scale reproductions of rail gauge and wheels.
		One modeler in that segment sniffed that the change won't affect them because most of them model railroads as they were in the 1950's, and that all the rest of the O scalers (non-Proto:48ers) who model anything prior to the change over date will still be inaccurate.
		A tinplate collector, a rail historian and a model railroader had a drink at a convention and began discussing whether it was better to spend time with the wife or a mistress.
