Welcome!

This is the first ever posting to the Princetown Branch blog. Why the funny name? Well, the blog is named after a railroad branch line that ran from Yelverton to Princetown in Devon, UK. The branch line was pulled up and sold for scrap in the late 1950's, but it lives on here at the Princetown Branch blog.

This blog will be dedicated to trains and railroad of all types, from all over the WORLD! Both real trains and model trains will be featured. The blog will mainly content itself with the railroads of the USA and UK, but any railroad anywhere in the world will be fair game. Expect to see lots of pictures and video as well.

And yes, I'll even have the occasional blog posting about the namesake of this blog: the Princetown Branch.

Here's to an interesting adventure!
