Welcome to my world of model railroading done on a budget. A room full of H.O scale model trains with a layout under construction. My layout just about fills a 12 x 12 bedroom in my home. It is built in the form of the letter "E" off the back wall. Built on 1/4" plywood and 2 x 4 legs at 42 " high with 2 to 4 layers of foam. Dim. are 12' x 12' x 7' x 4' and room to grow. It will have a 2% grade on the back side tracks. I built a work bench into the closet to save space. Im at 5 years and still a long way to go. Most of my layout is covered in Hunters Scenery products as he is a sponcer and friend. I have been into trains and model railroading since I was about 3 . I also love real trains Steam and diesel. My layout is the late 1950s era when the cars where cool and steam and diesel came together. My theme is freelance based on the Long Island RR & New York RR system. Also i use my real life in the layout. What my friends and family do in real life revolve around the layout also..its just in the 50s era and dowopp days.............

THE PHOTO OF ME AT AGE 3 . My sister made this for my 48th B-day . She did a great job on it. This was the first time I have ever seen this photo of myself and my dad's first layout in Medford NY. My family talked about it for a few years .It was worth the wait>

The world of Mrdowopps.com

: History :

A web site I built for my dad 3 years ago as a fun page has now become a real site to the lazerman / Lazerrailways world. My dad is a doo-wop record collector and has been his whole life. I will be adding a radio station to my model train layout to host the era and the days my dad when he was on the radio as a part time DJ. The music of the dowopp days an him as a DJ will be played on my layout when it come's to life. He is going to tranfer the tape rcording he made to a CD of the days he was a DJ so I can use it on the layout. That will really make it come to life. Since he is a Doowopp record collector he has everthing under the sun. He has a room filled with 40s and 50s records 45s and 78s and 33s that fill storage containers in the the dowopp room.
