Along with efforts to save the Historic
Carrolton Depot local model railroad hobbies Jay Cain has actively
sought a way to include a model railroad display in the use of this historic
building. Jay has built displays for several corporations and helped
model railroading hobbies with display. He has also built a full scale
model train display in his own home above his garage.

railroading theme to include just about any theme or era . A mix
of time periods both past and present are what make model train

might be that of shipping cotton by rail in the early 1900's |
