T&E MRR history 2020
As I do every year I am posting more photos of my Fathers Troll & Elfin model railroad. He took many photos over the years though the majority were 35 mm slides which is a bit of a problem. He and I got into model railroading at the same time. My father modeled more for fun than any prototype.
Above is a view of the town of Troll with a train on the tracks.
Above is one of his scratch built hopper cars.
The photo above shows some of his structures, a few of which I now have on my model railroad.
Most of his photos were black & white. I have this small "station" on my layout also. My fathers layout was much smaller than mine is but I saved a few structures and most of the details. The rest I either sold or gave away. Neither my kids or grand kids have any interest in model railroads so my stuff will be disposed of when I die, thought they will probably save a few pieces.
Hi Stan.
ReplyDeleteNow that I realize this blog exists I will be searching for more of the Troll and Elfin. I was always an admirer of your fathers layout. I'm 77 so I remember it well.
Thanks for posting.
