I have been taking shots of what ever has been going on so there’s some record of railroading during the summer of 2009 in the local Richmond area.  All my photos are uploaded to Flickr shortly after I take the shots.  If I have time, I will do a little renaming and add comments.  I’ve been focusing on detail shots to be of use for various present and future projects.  I hope they are of some use to you too.

Just click on the photos on the left side and feel free to leave comments on the photos, I’ll be glad to answer any questions.

Thanks for stopping by and reading this blog. I’ll be posting as I have time. In the mean time, enjoy the photos.

This post will examine why complex track occurs and consider some examples of complex track.  The next post will suggest some factors that are important in creating successful complex trackwork in model form.

Can you tell me how to build this type of junction track?
I have a serious problem of space, and I want to build something like urban industrial tram track.

The junction Hector is referring to is pictured at right
