Neil Schofield lives in Charlton,
MA with his wife, three
children, and the family dog.
He works in Holyoke, MA as a
Senior Project Manager for an
environmental consulting firm.
Thanks to his father, Neil has
been interested in trains since
he was 6 or 7. His childhood
memories include many railfan
trips throughout the Northeast
along with fond memories of
operating modern piggyback
cars on his father’s steam era layout.
Growing up, he was a self proclaimed rivet counter when
it came to rolling stock and locomotives. He began building
structures when he started his first layout in 2002. Since
building his layout, the rivet counting has diminished in favor
of getting trains running, building scenery, and structures.
He’s now starting on his third layout that is based on CP Rail
operations in Vermont and hopes to have plenty of room for
the Agway Feeds along with many other structures built over
the last 10 years.
When he’s not working, commuting, or modeling, he enjoys
exercising and jumping on the bandwagon during playoff
time for one of Boston’s sports teams.
