The Irvington, Hillside and Mount Clemens Railroad

This site is dedicated to my longtime hobby of collecting, repairing and operating Lionel and compatable 'tinplate' style model trains.

The name of this site is the same as that of my last Lionel Layout (RIP 1998). Due to the poor condition of my next residence's basement, I halted construction on the successor layout.

I will be adding photos of past layouts, photos of equipment and some other doo-dads to this site as time allows.
