About me
My name is John Ciccarelli. I was an art teacher for 30 years and am now retired. I”ve always had a love of trains and modeling. Like many in our hobby I got started as a young child. As I got older other things occupied my time and energy. I got back into the hobby after a period of time. My first trains were American Flyer. For a while I had an S-scale layout during which time I was a contributing author to S-Gaugian magazine. More recently I have been modeling in 3-rail O-gauge as a member of a modular railroad club: The Western Reserve Modular Rail Road Club (WRMRR) and also on my home layout. My home layout was featured in O-gauge railroading magazine and I have also had articles and photos published in OGR. I’ve also been published in Rail Classics magazine and Model Railroader. My areas of interest include scenery, prototype modeling, structure building and realistic weathering of buildings and rolling stock. Examples of these wil be posted.
