Bob Bartizek has been a
model railroader for most
of his life. He’s built layouts
using Lionel toy trains, N-scale
with commercial flex track
and turnouts, N-scale with
hand laid code 40 rail, and
his current effort in 3-rail
O-scale. Bob is a huge fan of
prototypical operating sessions
and has reworked his 3-rail
couplers, re-motored some
locomotives, and re-geared others so that his equipment
operates flawlessly. This is his eighth article for the model
railroad press.
Bob is retired and lives with his lovely and supportive wife
Ann outside Cincinnati. He has begun cultivating the next
generation of model railroaders by already sharing his layout
with his one year-old grandson.
