My name is Matthew Taylor and welcome to my blog website dedicated to Trains (Real and Models). This is a spinoff of my motorcycle focused blog website, Wanderlust Lyfe. Instead of posting train-related content there and making a confusing mess, I decided to create a dedicated website and YouTube channel for my oldest hobby, Model Railroading. Here I will be posting videos (YouTube links) and other content from time to time about real trains and model railroading. Specifically, I will be building an O scale and HO scale layouts in the future and plan to create some posts related to the layout builds.

These two layouts have been a long time in the making. I hope to start benchwork in either 2027 or late 2028. I have not completed the train room as of December 29th, 2025. I began planning the model railroad after buying this home in the fall of 2020.  However, I have repeatedly delayed the Train Room project in favor of other projects. Videos and other content will be slow to post here but will become more frequent in the future.
