Walkersville Southern Railroad in Maryland

December 22, 2009

I have a 17 x 29 foot layout in the basement but only work on it for about one or two months out of the year. The rest of the time I am an engineer at Walkersville Southern Railroad
in Maryland.

The guy on the caboose coming across Routre 355 is me as Fireman before I became an engineer. We run an EMD40, Devenport four wheel gear shift, A 44ton center cab switcher and another Davenport four wheel automatic. I also am one of three people with the Friends of the Warrenton Caboose in Warrenton, Virginia.

I also helped lay the ties and put the rails in to include a #10 switch that came from the Potomac Yard in Arlington, VA. This was given to us from NS Railroad, they also gave us the caboose and were there for the dedication. We also were told it looked better than when it was new.

I also do about 11 module shows a year with the Potomac Module Crew MidEastern Divison of NMRA. We are part of the three HO groups on the East coast that hold the record for the largest HO module layout in the North Eastern part of the states.
