The Leeds Hill Railroad is a G-gauge model railroad in (roughly) 1:24 scale in New England, USA. This website's purpose is to catalogue the model railroad as a whole and showcase how projects around the railroad were completed. Additionally, the website has a second half that is all about USA railroad history. Currently, this section is focused on western Massachusetts, but other areas are also discussed.

Featured History

Every so often, we will highlight a new section of the historical half of this website. Right now, we are highlighting...

Westfield, Massachusetts

Westfield's rail history began in 1841, when the Western Railroad built tracks through town connecting Boston to the Berkshires. The city is still an active rail hub in Western Massachusetts, although service is quite diminished from what it was at its height.
