ModelRailroadData.Com: Hot Links of the Month

These links are the top 20* most active links this month, based on the number of hits from this site. Our "popular" links page lists the sites with the most total hits. Obviously the longer a site is in our directory, the more hits it will accumulate, making it hard for new sites to be listed.

For the "Hot" list all sites start with 0 each month, so there is no unfair advantage for the older sites. Any site can easily make it onto the hot list. *Note: More than 20 sites may be listed if there are multiple sites with the same number of hits. (This is common at the beginning of the month)

Layout Design - Charlie Comstock ^Hot!

Layout design brings different images to mind in different folks. For some it's an onerous process to be gotten over as soon as possible the so fun of actual construction and operation can begin. Others spend years researching every detail of a favorite protype, agonizing over which portions to include or omit. Most of us like to just doodle trackplans. Without carefully working things out "Oops!" could result.

Atlantic and Great Western Railway ^Hot!

The AGW is my freelanced HO scale railroad set in the 1980Æs. It is a 22,000 mile long carrier stretching from the North Atlantic Seaboard and Canada to the Missouri River and Gulf of Mexico. The AGW has a service area similar to a Conrail, Chicago North Western and Missouri Kansas Texas merger. I model in the 1980's to 1990's time frame. I wanted to model a railroad that could set standards in the industry and compete even in the 1990's era of mega-merger railroads.

Central Missouri & Southern RR ^Hot!

The CM&S is a standard gauge, HO scale road set in the beautiful Missouri Ozarks during the early 1900s. While it hauls commodities of all sorts to the small towns nestled in the rugged hills and valleys of southern Missouri, its main sources of revenue come from serving nearby logging and milling operations. The Osage Valley Tie & Lumber Company, a wholly owned subsidiary, is also an important source of income for the CMS.
