A happy 2nd anniversary to WarrenvilleRailroad.com!
I thought that the special anniversary of The Warrenville Railroad itself - 40 years now - warrants a mention here too!
With this site I continue to have a lot of fun sharing information about The Warrenville Railroad, friend's layouts, tips and projects. Check out the index of the past 3 year's articles below - I'm sure you'll find something of interest to visit for the first time, or to re-read.
I continue to be thankful for all of the positive comments received in person, on the website, via email and via posts from my online friends on the OGR Online Forum: ( Home | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum (ogaugerr.com) )
I'm especially want to again thank my friends for allowing me to share their layouts in the frequent "Friend's Layouts" feature. These posts have been some of the most popular here!
Another thanks goes to the Lionel Operating Train Society (LOTS) for printing part of my From Plasticville "Junk" Comes Unique Buildings blog post in their June 2022 issue of The Switcher print magazine. This is the third time The Warrenville Railroad was featured in an article in The Switcher:
I also have to acknowledge the Lionel Collectors Club of America (LCCA) whose The Lion Roars print magazine featured an article from this site; One of a Kind Cabooses (Cabeese?) in their April 2021 Issue. This is the second time The Warrenville Railroad was featured in an article in The Lion Roars:
This site has been named the official website of the Long Island Train Collecting Aficionados (LITCA)
