I have several things in my railroad room to help set the atmosphere. There are old train pictures on the walls as well as emblems for the Pennsylvania RR, the Algoma Central and also a large emblem for the GAP Route. The GAP Route is my fictitious railroad that extends north from St Ignace to Sault Ste Marie Ontario, connecting (filling the gap between) the two railroads mentioned above. Now I'm looking for a 1961 calendar to help set the date.
What do some of you have to help set the atmosphere in your train room?

Re: Railroad room atmosphere
i have a station clock in the corner and some pcitures of various locomotives....the railroad itself creates the atmosphere
