Bob's Railroad Photos 12/28/06
Many interesting photographs await the railfan who visits Bob's website. There's over 300 railway photos, mostly from the southeast of the United States. Bob has a little something for everyone. I'm a steam fan and there are several excellent photos that spike my interest, especially those of neighborhood Strasburg. Some animated gif scenes, a video and a free wallpaper of the month are thrown in for good measure.

Robert's Lionel Trains Layout 11/26/06
Some of you prototype modelers may scoff at this "toy" layout, but think back to when you were a child... wouldn't this be your dream layout? Robert's O-scale Lionel train set fills a 320 square foot room. It includes a missile launcher, an exploding boxcar, a flying airplane, a couple of operational lift bridges and many more accessories. Relive your childhood fantasy by visiting this website. Oh, and be sure to view the video of the "ducking" giraffes!

Wilmington & Western Railroad 11/12/06
Climb aboard the Wilmington & Western, Delaware's oldest steam tourist railroad, for fun & exciting adventures..." So begins the journey through this delightful website. The design is top-notch, and the navigation intuitive. Want to have dinner on a train or celebrate a birthday in a caboose? Perhaps you would rather read about restoring locomotive No.98 or the rebuilding efforts after a flood destroyed much of the railroad. All of this and more awaits you at wwrr.com.

Model Railroading by Bill Parisi 9/28/06
Bill Parisi has crammed a lot of hi-rail O-scale railroading in his 12-by-23-foot basement. Called the Island Valley, the model railroad is set in the modern era, but still runs diesels from the 50's. From his layout photo section (with an impressive slide show feature) it appears that all is needed is scenery to make the Island Valley complete. Equally interesting are the many photographs from Bill's railfan trips and model railroads that he's visited.

The Great Western (SVR) Association is dedicated to preserving and restoring rolling stock, particularly carriages, from the Great Western Railway in the UK. The list of carriages this association has preserved is quite lengthy. Be sure to view the News page, as this is where the majority of the links to the site reside. There's a wealth of information here and it's fun to find and view the content along with the many exceptional photographs.

A fast search routine will find a particular locomotive quickly. Photos, location reviews, blogs and an active forum are also on the website.

Ciosbahn 1/2/06
This N scale model railway website is based on a fictional Swiss railway called Ciosbahn that runs from the fictional Swiss city of Cioppensburg. The majority of the site contains photos and descriptions of the vast collection of interesting rolling stock that runs on the layout. In particular, several Japanese bullet trains that this Swiss railway has "acquired." The site also has a high-rez photo gallery of real trains and sponsors the CSB awards program.
