For those that enjoy the world of model railroading

THE BOYS IN THE BASEMENT cartoon strip was conceived, written, and illustrated by award-winning comic book creator Don Lomax. Don made a career of working in the train industry and with Burlington Railroad before and after serving his country with a tour in Vietnam. THE BOYS IN THE BASEMENT strip appeared as a series within the pages of Model Railroading magazine. It takes a humorous look at the world of model trains from the perspective of three men, Merle and his friends Lenny and Earl, and their obsession and love with the hobby. As they attempt to build the perfect model railroad layout in Merle's basement.

Rail enthusiasts and those who love them will appreciate Lomax's talent to humorously depict what it is like to be a train aficionado.
