All Aboard!
Welcome to the home page of m-rail.net, a website dedicated to N Scale Model Railroads of Michigan.
​​​
Featuring my Ann Arbor Railroad modeling efforts, the site includes many custom N Scale models of several other railroads and equipment that operated in the State of Michigan from the heyday of steam in the 1920s, through the early 1980s. In particular you will see many of the Ann Arbor's interchange partners represented here, with brief prototype railroad histories and pictures of my modeling projects.​​ There are tips, techniques, and many "how-to" features, along with track plans and lots of photos, so there's a little something for everyone... ​
