Update

Sorry I haven't blogged  for a long time. I just don't have a good editing program and it takes me a hour just to make a video that is 5 minutes long.

N scale layout

Kato has just released the Metra MP36 and Bi-level cars (http://www.katousa.com/N/SS-Bilevel/index.html) and they are amazing. I want them but it is in N scale and as you know I do HO so I decided maybe to make an N scale layout.

First time railfanning!!

Today while I was going to my hobby shop with my dad we stopped to get gas and I herd the bells for the gates then the horn. I never herd the horn before so I thought it was freight. When the train came it was a Metra MP36ph! I never saw it before. When we started driving we saw it and the station so we raced it and got to a crosssing right before it came so I grabbed my 3DS and took these awesome photos and here they are:

 This is the freight cars and I think a GP38 .

 The train is comming and one ditch light is on and the other is off.

The train coming closer.
The train coming through. You can see the cab car.
 The Metra MP36 leaving Railroad crossing. This is my favorite photo and its a good photo. 
The MP36 leaving in the distance.
