Here are a few of my favorites.
 

I met Jim Cullen at a train show in Oct. of 2000.  While we had spoken before, and I'd even visited his site, I never got around to linking him on this page... I hope this makes-up for it.  Jim has an n-scale layout, modest in size, but well detailed.  His "Elizabeth & Austin Division" of the PRR is an example of how the hobby can be enjoyed without going to excess... it's a nice site and worth a look.

Jim & Margaret Mansfield, like Paul Templar (below) write for MODEL RAILROADING magazine.  These two listings are purely co-incidental... if I don't "favor" a site it doesn't make it on my personal favorites page.  Again, these folks model in "HO"... while I model in "N-scale", I have no scale preference myself... I'm far more involved with the quality of a model than the size of it.  This is an information-packed site... give it a look when you have the time.

Paul Templar is a gent from Britian who builds model railroads like some of us simply build models... and like the "Energizer Bunny" they keep coming, and coming, and coming.  His latest is a logging effort in HO scale, Paul's work is published regularly in MODEL RAILROADING magazine.

This group of Miami-based n-scale modelers is one of the best in the country.  This link has just been re-added, they seem to have disappeared for awhile, I thought they may have been the first group of Americans to defect to Cuba!  Absolutely great... give it a look.

The "mysterious" "Weathering Doctor" has just published an interesting home page, complete with plenty of hints, and some fine photos too!  Until recently graduating from "Chalkfore U." he was simply known as the "Weathering Guy".... his folks must be soooo proud!  A fine website by an equally fine modeler... give it a look.

Ken Spranza's Homepage  may not ring a bell.... and it IS basically an "HO" oriented site.  Why look?  Ken photographs great model rilroads he has visited, and lets us share in his efforts.  Wanna see the work of Dick Elwell or George Sellios on the web?... this must be da place... because this is where you can find them.  Even Ken's own railroad is featured... not the "quantity", but the "quality" (according to Ken)... and he's not kidding.  WELL WORTH AN EXTENDED VISIT!

Earl Smallshaw has been sharing his efforts with almost 50 years of authoring expertise.  He has not only influenced my modeling in a big way, but has been largely influential in the modeling efforts of George Sellios & Mike Tylick among countless others.  This railroad is "HO" scale, but do yourself a favor and spend some time with this site, it is by one of the masters of the hobby!

Bob Russell's California modeling is second to none. From orange groves to palm trees Bob does it all. Bob also features a "Picture Of The Week", contact Bob to get your photo on the web ! Another great "N"-Scale layout !

Bob Batson has a page filled with information on how to operate your railroad. Great graphics, a nifty opening tune, and contributions by other experienced modelers makes this page a must visit ! N-Scale.

"THE KINGSBURY BRANCH" is the work of master modeler Bill Denton. Bill captured the cover of Model Railroader recently with this masterpiece! If you like hand-laid track, and fantastically detailed scenes few other railroads, of any scale, can compare with Bill's efforts. N-Scale.

Regardless of the size of your railroad this site will have something of interest for you. Great photography combined with a healthy combination of city and rural scenes form together to make a terrific railroad. This is a layout in France, modeled in the area of upstate N.Y. , home of the NYO&W and Susquehanna, a new and very welcomed site by a terrific modeler.

Mike Tylick has been authoring articles in MR and other leading publications for many years. He is known for his "HO" scale Fitchburg & Southbridge RR as well his his work in "O" scale. If you should have any questions on detailing, painting, or even photography Mike is the fellow to ask. Click on this link to ask Mike any questions you may have .

Clayton Barry's Athabasca Railroad page offers a full tour, from his articles in N-Scale Magazine, to panaromic views of his work. This site is best viewed when you have the time to relax and enjoy it.

LONG ISLAND MODEL R.R. ENGINEERS - This Long Island, NY, club is one of the largest around. Although the web page is still in its' infancy it's easy to see why this club, which features "HO, HOn3", "N-scale", and "Nn3" is well worth a visit. This 4000 sq. ft. club can be contacted through the site, stop by if you're in town!

Buckshot & Buzzard Butte Railway- Once in a great while somebody comes along with the talents of a John Olson or a Malcolm Furlow, and re-defines "space" as we normally conceive it. At an overall size of 24"x30" this terrific n-scale effort just goes to prove that bigger doesn't always have to mean better! Give it a look... I'm sure that you'll agree!

The "New River Subdivision of the Chesapeake & Ohio" is oriented as much to the prototype as it is to the modeling of this specific railroad and its' operations. An effort of "Northern-Virginia" N-Trak, this group takes a cutting edge approach to modeling in "N" scale

This is a truly strange and wonderful website, more like a visit to "Fantasyland" than a modeling experience, the "Model Railroading Magic" website has unbelieveable graphics, and is long on both the philosophy and creative aspects of model railroading.  If you should stop by, you probably won't be prepared to examine the whole site! ...this indeed is the model railroader's version of "Alice's Looking Glass".

Chris Butler is a Canadian with a strong liking for the work of U.S. modelrs like Mike Tylick & George Sellios.... not unlike myself.   Be forewarned... THIS IS AN "HO" SCALE WEBSITE... so if you're scale concious (and I hope you're not), you won't find any "N" scale doings on this fine website.  Chris is undergoing an evolution on his layout, moving in the general direction of the density and details of some of the finest city model builders around, but, it is a growing process... visit the site, I think you'll be able to see the focus which he has incorporated into his modeling efforts!

It's not a habit of mine to "plug" manufacturers, BUT... small companies producing quality products merit an exception.  Showcase Miniatures produces terrific structures, vehicles, and an occassional other oddity.  Give this site a look.  I use and endorse these products.
