Where in the World is Traindame???
Six months… In a Blink of an EYE!
YIKES… Has it really been six months since my last post on my Traindame Blog?!?! That’s just plain CRAZY!!!!
I’ve been Facebooking… Tweeting… Emailing… Traveling… and daily opening up ‘Traintastic’ relationships but there’s simply *NO EXCUSE for neglecting my Traindame Blog!!!
Ok, so what is the best way to blog about my past six month experience?? How about a photo review – hold on, here we go!
November/December 2014 was Trains at NorthPark time!
G. Rosenbaum enjoyed several gatherings at his home sharing his custom layout:

Next stop, Chattanooga Tennessee for Dr. Sawrie’s S Gauge installation:
Trainworld/Trainland had a TrainWorx Custom layout just in time for the holidays!
The Smith’s visited the TrainWorx studio before installation of their custom attic layout in Kansas:
McNally’s custom layout (suspended from garage) was crated and then shipped to California:
Layout with a subway left Texas for New Jersey where J. Shapson installed it in his home:
Existing client, J. Morrison recently added a modular table with trailer included to his train collection and he wanted to “Roger-ize” it!
Another Jersey layout! On the studio floor now is the custom Hellgate table with added subway!
The Traingineers installed and then dismantled the Lionel Holiday Display at the Transit Museum inside the NY Grand Central Terminal but first it spent some time on the studio floor getting some branding updates, dusting & cleaning with our guest Traingineer, Dennis Brennan!
And finally… two new stations getting ready to debut at Spring York next week:

Berkshire Hathaway Shareholder’s Meeting
May 3, 2014
Omaha, Nebraska USA
What an Absolutely “TrainTASTIC” trip I had with the Traingineers at this year’s Berkshire Hathaway meeting!! I especially enjoyed meeting with Mr. Buffett again and having the incredible opportunity to spend time with him and really appreciated his genuine pleasure to take pictures with the TW Traingineers along with our special guest, Lionel’s VP of Marketing – Mike Phillips. Check out all the smiles…
I was standing on the other end of the table while Mr. Buffett was talking with Mr. Rose from BNSF, and the question arose from Mr. Buffett the desire to have an even bigger layout next year and I chimed in.. “We’d love to design an additional section to your layout!! So… shhhhh don’t tell anybody, totally UNOFFICIAL, but perhaps Roger will soon be in BNSF Layout Addition Design Mode and that would be SOOOOO COOOOOOL!!
SET UP:
SHOWTIME!
I can pretty much sum up the conversation (in truncated sentences) around the BNSF Layout during the event…
“Wow!”
“This is UNBELIEVABLE!”
“Fantastic”
“Amazing!”
“What a display”
“Really, I can run the trains?”
“Great job!”
“Look…. !”
“Totally Fabulous”
“You guys do amazing train layouts!”
“AWESOME!!!”
Two upcoming dates to save on YOUR calendar!
#1. May 17th, 2014 – TrainWorx Showroom Store open from 10 to 4
#2. September 27, 2014 – TrainWorx 3rd Annual Layout Festival

February 2014 … Layout Installs and Dismantles
What a fabulous month February has been for the TW Traingineers having the incredible opportunities to partake in the Rosenbaum, “Houston, Wharton, & Pecos River RR” layout installation and just earlier this week the dismantle of the awesome, seen by millions world wide, Lionel Holiday Layout displayed at the Transit Museum inside the Grand Central Terminal which just celebrated its 100th Anniversary of existence!!
Gives me goosebumps to think about all the travelers and stories that have transpired in the 100 years…
I know you will enjoy this time lapse of the TW TrainWorx Traingineers doing what they have a passion to do!
Enjoy!

P.S. SAVE THE DATE: September 27, 2014 join us for our 3rd Annual Layout Festival!
Houston… We Have S U C C E S S!!!!
It’s been a long time coming and I am happy to say the layout installation of the Houston, Wharton, & Pecos River RR has been completed and to quote the layout owner: “the incredible piece of artwork now resides in his Train Gallery!”
Wow, I had no idea of the absolute pleasure I was embarking on back in June of 2011 when Glen first contacted us to collaborate with him to make his 50+ year dream layout come true… all the while, at the same time he was in the process of remodeling/adding on to his family home in Houston. I won’t go into a long account of the extraordinary experience but will take the opportunity to focus on two items:
#1. The entire layout – all 410 sq. ft. of it (14′ x 30′) went up into the train room (back then it was a “room”) through a hole in the floor (not kidding) which was deemed the “Farkash Hatch” by Glen and his Architects from the get go!
Farkash Hatch Collage:
And on to…
#2. Glen’s home was chosen to be 1 of 8 in the 38th Annual Rice Design Alliance Architecture Tour which you all are invited to partake in Houston, Texas – March 28th and 29th! Read all about it right here:
Architecture Tour
I have it from my sources that there will be an exclusive article written about the Houston, Wharton, and Pecos River RR very soon and until then I can’t post any “finished finished” photos but here are a few I took of the Traingineers during last weekend’s installation:
This video just in from the inaugural running of the trains on the
Houston, Wharton, & Pecos River Railroad, ENJOY!
Next in line for the Traingineer Production Studio is a layout for a gentleman in California who Roger designed a Harry Potter themed train layout for and just added to our production schedule another residential layout for a gentleman in Alabama whom we had the pleasure of meeting at last year’s LCCA Convention!
