All About Aurora Postage Stamp Trains
About This Website
Why did I create this website? I've always had a particular fondness for Postage Stamp Trains, and I'm certainly not alone. But there's hardly any information about it on the Internet, and what little I've found is incomplete and/or inaccurate. Worse, the merchandise sold on auction websites is misidentified seemingly more often than not.
It just so happens I possess a unique combination of knowledge and skill to fix that situation: I've modeled in N Scale for 50 years, I'm a Postage Stamp Trains collector, and I've worked professionally as a writer, photographer and web developer. Plus I'm retired, so I also have the time.
My goal is to build the most comprehensive reference on Postage Stamp Trains possible by providing every bit of information I can obtain on every product. With over 550 pages and 2,000 images, this website already has quite a lot to offer, but I haven't been working alone; another serious collector, Bob Williams, has been contributing enormous amounts of new information. Other site visitors have contributed to the site as well.
Creating this site inspired me to develop a sister site, featuring a highly detailed account of N Scale's formative years: The Birth of N Scale.
Incidentally, this website was prominently featured in an article by Tony Cook in the April 2018 issue of Model Railroad News ("From the Archive," page 90).
