As we said - Welcome to our website! This site has been established by the
Muffin family to share our activities and accomplishments as we enjoy and
share this fabulous hobby of Model Railroading.
MrMuffin'sTrains is a fairly large operating model train layout and O gauge model train collection that is open to the public. Our goal is to share the hobby with others interested in model railroading and trains in general.
We have organized the site to share our layout and
share photographs of several items in our collection. We also have pages
dedicated to sharing resources that we have come to depend on as we have
expanded our activities from collecting to operating O Gauge model trains.
Please follow us of FaceBook at "MrMuffin'sTrains". We even have a few videos on YouTube - like:

Some of our recent guests having fun at MrMuffin'sTrains:
Mr. Muffin
Mr. Muffin is a native of Indianapolis and a life long resident, excusing a
few relocations for employment opportunities from time to time. He is a graduate
of Broad Ripple High School and holds both an engineering degree from Purdue
University and an MBA from Indiana University.
As many in his generation, he worked a paper route, cut lawns and did odd
jobs while growing up in Indianapolis and ended up with a few half dollars in
his pocket from time to time. Much of it was spent at Ed Schock's Toy & Hobby in
Broad Ripple Village on Indianapolis' north side. Early on, model cars and model
airplanes were the customary fair and he could usually carry home on his bike
about all he could afford.
As the years passed, he did odd jobs at Ed Schock's, was occasionally fed there
for Saturday lunch, and then, at about 14 years of age, finally hired to work as
a salesclerk. This gig lasted into college and he so enjoyed the hobbies, the
customers - the whole industry really - that he has been engaged in discussing
and collecting model kits and model railroading items ever since.
Mr. Muffin's O Scale collection started in 2000, and he is currently working on his sixth O gauge layout. This one is located in an old flour mill in Atlanta, Indiana.
Mr. Muffin:
A collector, turned operator, before the family became distributors.
Heh - wait a minute. We are distributors!
