This BLOG will chronicle the design and construction of a proto-freelance HO scale model railroad. I've based this layout on the area that I grew up in. This line is no longer in use but I will try to keep it alive in my own way. The purpose of the layout is to enjoy running trains. PERIOD. It will not be prototypical to any era or road. I just want to run trains that have or could have run on the line through Starkville, MS. plus a few extras.

Work continues on TXI...
I'm still working on the TXI cement plant. In this photo you can see the HAZMAT Fuel receiving barn and holding tanks. They use several types of HAZMAT materials to fuel the kiln at the cement plan. The SW1 is a Walthers unit that I painted to match the ex-CAGY paint that the switcher wore for a bit at the plant.
