Model Railroading Resources
This is a list complied from numerous resources. It is not a complete listing of resources available to those active in Model Railroading. I will devote a reasonable amount of time and effort to keep it up - until my interest runs out. The format is
Name,
Address,
Phone number(s),
Website URL,
Hyperlink to the Website,
E-mail, and
Comments.
The source of the comments varies from mine, from the entities, or from others interested in Model Railroading.
Comments can be sent to me at raschildhouse@gmail.com.
My interests in Model Railroading, actually in Railroading span from the smallest to the largest. I do not have Z Gauge / Scale (Donations?), simply too expensive and too small. I have tons of N, HO, S / American Flyer, O, and some G. Add true toy trains primarily associated with Disney or Lego but include numerous product promotional and special event toys.
We are, or have been, members of several railroad associated museums in the Southwest U.S. When we visit Disneyland we ride the Disneyland Railroad on The Grand Circle Route. The Disneyland Monorail, not so often. In Disney California Adventure it is The Red Car Trolley. My Granddaughter and I both LOVE anything to do with trains.

Things change, I will try to keep this up to date with a reasonable effort.

The Hogwarts Express Folding Train Layout
Hogwart's Express Fold Down Train Board, December 2017
This project was actually completed a while back and I did not realize it was not on the home page. I love trains. Simple. I have tons of model railroad stuff. My Wife loves the Harry Potter series. So I bought her the Hogwart's Express from Lionel. (Clue - the whole thing is made in China.)
Model railroads have an issue and one of them is size and location. So, I built a fold-down O Gauge model railroad board. Several organizations, including Lionel when I contacted them, told me it could not be done without "drop-in track inserts." I disagree and had done it with an HO set while on active duty. Here are the results. The drawers hold all of the rolling stock and scenery. The top drawer on the control side has the transformer mounted and all of the switch controls.
From folded down and moveable to up and running - my track in the video was dirty so it was not cooperating, is less than three minutes.
You Tube link to the video to see the board go up and operate in less than five minutes.

The Lilli Bean 4-4-4 Steam Train, Updated June 3, 2018
Okay. Okay. I have some issues. I know that. I love trains. My favorite is the Electro Motive Division's GP-7 / 9 series often referred to as "The Jeep-7" or "The Jeep-9." Why? Because it was acquired as a Christmas present for me, not shared, and it was actually bought at a sale in the Pullman Car Company's old warehouse in "Pullman City" Chicago when I was about 9 years old. Still have it and it still runs. However, I love trains. PERIOD. And the Disneyland trains are absolutely amazing. Real, honest operating steam engines. Not shells with internal combustion engines hidden inside or with concealed electric motors.
Joyce and I were at the San Diego Model Railroad Museum in Balboa Park to see their model railroad. Pretty cool. In their bookstore I find Steve DeGaetano's awesome Welcome Aboard the Disneyland Railroad! (Get the collector's edition, I can tell you how to get an autographed copy.) That book inspired some more train activity and this project.
With the exception of some minor pieces such as the the piston rods, main rods, side rods, and "retaining washers" which are made from hobby plywood, the wheels, the axles, the washers used for the gauges, light and smokebox plate and the two screws this is all scrap, recovered wood. The locomotive has over 100 individual pieces of wood, the tender has more than 40 individual pieces of wood. The timing of the main, driver wheels is correct, the left is 90 degrees behind the right. The wheels all roll nicely and the trucks all track true.
The locomotive and tender measure just under 33" long. The tape measure is pulled out to 36" as a reference. This is one BIG locomotive.
Granddaughter Lillian has a nick name - Lilli Bean - so the locomotive and tender are the Lilli Bean and numbered 1. The railroad is C, J, and B Railroad named after my three Daughters, Cindi, Jenni, and Becki. It is The Road of the Three Sisters. With over 200 hours invested the locomotive, tender, three passenger cars, one caboose, and an eleven foot long track the project is not quite complete.
Lilli Bean, the person, has spent hours putting her little people on and taking them off, pulling the Lilli Bean train forward and pulling it back. There are a few refinements that need to be made. The gauge of the track gets a bit narrow at one point. I need to redesign the couplers between the cars.
Hyperlink to YouTube where Granddaughter is playing with the Lilli Bean Train.
The Lilli Bean is sitting on the table saw, complete. The tape measure is pulled out and locked at 36".
The left side of the Lilli Bean.
I put a firebox door in, also a washer, and a few other washers as gauges on the backhead above the firebox.
The tape measure is pulled out 36" and is set at the back of the tender. The track gauge, distance between the rails, is 3 3/4".
I had some heavy brass wires so they become boiler bands. Just detail. The headlight and boiler plate are counter sunk washers with flat head screws holding them in place. Just little details.
This is the Lilli Bean train on an eleven foot track. Like the Disneyland Trains it is designed to be boarded from the right side.
The Lilli Bean Steam Locomotive and Tender. Just under 33" long and the pistons, drive rods, and side rods all work.
This car, they are not in "Daughter Order," is the Jenni car and features side facing seating.
This car is the Becki car and has forward facing seating.
This car is the Cindi car and is mass loading and freight. (Actually designed to haul dinosaurs.)
And Mom / Grandma brings up the rear as Joyce. The cupola in the caboose is accessible from inside the car.
The Lilli Bean sitting on its eleven foot track. Note the easel in the upper left corner of the photo, which got extensive use this day, and the rolling thunderball toy by the locomotive.

The Kidji, an EMD GP-7 for the C, J, and B Railroad, June 2018
The C, J, and B Railroad and the Lilli Bean are inspired by Steve DeGaetano's Welcome Aboard the Disneyland Railroad. Fantastic book about Walt Disney and the Disneyland Railroad. (Get the Collector's Edition.) While I love steam engines the Electro Motive Division's (EMD) GP-7 road switcher, has deep spikes in my heart due to a Christmas present over 55 years ago. So, the C, J, and B got a GP-7 named Kidji as unit #2.
Built using mostly scrap / repurposed frame and pallet wood, the Kidji has over sixty pieces of wood. It fits the same 3 3/4" gauge track and has common couplers with the Lilli Bean consist. It measures over 23" long. Following the Mantua / Tyco HO model pretty close for structure, Granddaughter's little people were not going to fit in the engine. She is a bit disappointed.
The Cindi, Jenni, and Becki Railroad is "The Road of the Three Sisters." Kidji is a shared family dog.

Hogwarts Express Address Plaque - Inside, December 2020
Joyce is really into Harry Potter and Hogwarts. Princess Lilli the Bean of Candyland, our only grandchild, and I are really into trains. And the Hogwarts Express plays a role at numerous times in the movie series. So..... CNC with Vectric VCarve Pro to the rescue. This 15 3/4" diameter plaque took about 5 1/2 hours of milling time with four bit changes. It was "prepainted" with acrylic paint on clear 1" x 4" pine. Now it will receive several coats of clear spar varnish.
And now the plaque is hanging in the entrance hall.

Hogwarts Express Address Plaque - Exterior, January 2021
Joyce objected to the "full color" Hogwart's address plaque going outside. So, back to the workshop. This one is made out of redwood and is close to 1 1/2" thick, also approximately 15 3/4" in diameter.
