Tad's latest project is Lynwood Station is built to look like the SR&RL Strong Station.  The model is a shortened
Banta Phillips Station.

Moody River Railroad

Since the early 1980's, Tad Miyano has been building Sn2 models for his proposed Moody River Railroad.  The locomotives, structures, and rolling stock which he has built are now being combined into a Maine style 2-Foot gauge model railroad.  Rather than model a specific Maine Two-Foot Railroad, Tad has chosen capture the flavor of all the Maine two-footers in a freelanced layout.  The name of Tad's layout pays tribute to Linwood Moody, author of the Maine 2-Footers.  Linwood's book, republished by Heimberger House Publishing, is a collection of stories and information about the 5 Maine two-foot railroads.


Above is Tad's trackplan for the Moody River RR.

Browse the pages list below to get a sampling of the modeling Tad has completed for his Moody River Railroad.
