Introduction:
UP Power

This site expresses my interest in railroads, both prototypical and scale model.
You can explore a few things on my site: prototype photos of various types; and pictures of HO scale models, both of my own collection as well as some that are for sale.


He has been a railfan since he was a child growing up in St. Louis, MO. St. Louis is a great railfan town, with lots of action and many railroads that served it. After leaving home to go to college, I have subsequently years later rediscovered my interest in trains.

I now live in the San Francisco Bay area, which itself has a number of interesting railroad destinations. Some of my favorites include: Oakland (Jack London Square and the UP yards just north and south of it); traffic up and down the Peninsula; and the coast lines up in Pinole, CA.

My primary hobby interest are HO-scale railroads, but really almost anything railroad-related is of interest in some way.
