Mike Holly
lives in
Germany,
near
Wiesbaden.
He got his
first trainset
at the age of
10, and started two German-
themed layouts. After
visiting a local model railroad
convention a couple of years
ago, he got infected by the
U.S. model railroad virus.
After moving to a new house,
he started the planning
process for his first U.S.-
themed, proto-freelanced
layout, the “Elizabeth Oaks
Branch Line.” Construction
of the layout started in 2011,
and today he is planning to
extend the layout to add
more operation.
Mike has a Bachelor of
Engineering degree in Road
Design & Construction.
He is married to Nicole, and
has a 3-year-old daughter
who loves railfanning.
