A happy 3rd anniversary to WarrenvilleRailroad.com!
AND, a mention of Warrenville Railroad's 43rd anniversary.
inue 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 AND for printing my article "Camaraderie Through Trains", The Formation of a Local Club in the August 2024 issue of The Switcher.
This makes the 4th 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:
Getting published is humbling and fun. Another thanks goes to the WB&A Chapter of the Eastern Division of the TCA, for re-printing two articles in 2024 from my site in their publication The Trolley; Standard Gauge "Junk" to an Observation Car Tribute and The Definitive Guide to Track Cleaning and Maintenance.
Last, but not least, in 2024 The Postboy (the magazine of the Railroad Museum of Long Island), reprinted from my site the article entitled A Visit to LTI's Showroom Layout at the RMLI.
With 2, 721 views (as of 8/9/24) the site's most popular blog article is my musing on What are Our Trains Worth.
With 3,788 views (as of 8/9/24) The most popular series is the Friend's Layouts series of 9 articles.
More to be proud of!
