Old Guy Having Fun with Trains

@UCohTXPX7k3iU23e2Myvh8rg - 3.4K subscribers

Welcome friends! This channel is all about having fun with trains. Join me in my journey building the Barelee Makinet Railroad, a fictional line that operated in the Colorado Rockies in 1895. We will also look at some real trains, both diesel and steam. We also will visit model train shows, museums, other layouts, and do a few documentaries regarding railroad history. There is bound to be something here for every rail fan or train enthusiast! I appreciate and encourage objective comments! I do not tolerate spam, hate speech, politics, or nasty comments of any sort. If I feel that your comment hits those hot buttons either at me or to another viewer's post, I will select the remove comment option. So be kind, have fun, enjoy, and most of all be blessed! Ken
