Flagstaff is bisected by the BNSF mainline and currently 80-100+ trains pass thru each day. The city has always been too shortsighted to build other than 4 above or below grade level crossings and most of the 60,000 residents curse the grade level crossings. I put the vehicle in park and enjoy. They bitch the horns are too loud. If my subconscious doesn't hear them while I sleep I awake and Wonder where the derailment is. Watching 3-8 dash9s pulling mile long intermodals thru town is great but, I love steam. I also love more modern logging, mining and construction equipment. From these loves arose the premise of my MM&T. Logging railroads around here were a little different than in many other western areas. Most western loggers started from tidewater, a river or some other low spot and headed up and up. hauling strings of empties up the ridges and drainages. Then trying like hell to keep the loads from running away on the trip back down. But here on the southern edge of the Colorado Plateau, Base Elevation is near 7,000 feet. Above that volcanic features are built hundreds and thousands of feet higher, and drainages and canyons are carved hundreds and Thousands of feet lower. All of this Geography is covered in Ponderosa pine along with Douglas Fir, White Fir and etc. where favorable to those species. So the RRs that ventured out into the sticks tended to have a sawtooth profile. My MM&T is fictional because I didn't want to be restricted by any of the local historical prototypes, but, all of the places are real. All of my life I have hunted, fished, driven, rode motorcycles and quads, ran, walked, and on more than one occasion staggered blind drunk around this Glorious landscape. To model it I had to compress, twist, skip, fudge, and swap directions at times to fit real geography into bedroom Geography. If I had a few mil. to spare and a medium size warehouse... Well you know. 'Til then I'll do the best I can. Again I hope all who see these pix enjoy them. Roger Eyrich.

My layout is now DCC controlled and many of my steam loco's sound equipped. I needed mainline track near and hooked into my computer as I do DCC decoder installation and programming for a friend's commercial enterprise ("Litchfield Station" check out the website, great prices and service.) By doing installions for him I almost break even for all the DCC goodies I want. I've found DCC to be great. It allows me to have multiple trains doing all kind's of things at the same time without having to "play the piano" on toggle switches and multiple power packs. I've recently started scratchbuilding more and larger trees to improve the look of my "woods".
