History and Reality

You will find two parallel themes on these pages. The first, a historical perspective--the story of the Tuscarora Railroad. While the TRR is something of a fictitious entity, it does draw very heavily on the true histories of both the East Broad Top and Tuscarora Valley railroads. Photos illustrating these musings will be black and white. The intention is to transport the reader back into a bygone era, seeing history told through old photos and old yarns.

The second theme will be my thoughts on building the garden railroad and its equipment. This will be more nuts-and-bolts information about modeling, gardening, and--occasionally--ramblings on the state of the hobby. Photos for these posts will be in color, so that you can enjoy the TRR as it really exists--something we can't do just by looking through faded photographs.
