My Story
Welcome to the world of miniature railroads, where history, engineering, and artistry converge in the most delightful way. My name is Miles Trackford, and I’ve been passionate about model railroading for over 30 years. It’s a hobby that has given me endless joy, countless challenges, and a community of fellow enthusiasts who feel more like family.
Model railroading isn’t just about building tiny trains and tracks—it’s about creating a world where your imagination can run full steam ahead. Over the years, I’ve tackled every kind of challenge, from wiring complicated DCC systems to crafting realistic landscapes. Whether you’re just getting started or a seasoned hobbyist looking to fine-tune your setup, I’m here to share the lessons I’ve learned and the solutions I’ve found.
Recently, with a little nudge from my tech-savvy grandson, I decided to take my love for the hobby online. Together, we’ve created this website to bring my decades of experience to a new generation of enthusiasts. Here, you’ll find everything from step-by-step guides and troubleshooting tips to in-depth model reviews and recommendations. My goal is simple: to help you enjoy this incredible hobby as much as I do.
I’m also excited to share some of my favorite products and tools—the ones that have made my journey easier and more enjoyable. Through carefully curated reviews and affiliate links, we hope to not only inspire your next project but also keep this site chugging along for the long haul.
Whether you’re here to learn, share, or just browse for inspiration, I’m thrilled to have you aboard. Let’s build something amazing together.
Happy railroading,
Miles.
