NEW YORK Eric Carlson. 20-
year-old lawyer, who is a minia

his model railroad system of four
locomotives and 35 pieces of roll
ing stock with complete sound
.effects.
"I have actual recordings of lo
comotives going through moun
tain tunnels, across prairies, the
sound effects of cars going over
rails where they cross rails- vou
know, real railroad sounds," Carl
son explains.
So whether one of his stream
liners or an old fashioned engine
is coming Into the sttaicin you can
hear the sounds of sand being put
on, brakes lxne applied and
steam being let off.
The reason Carlson is so par
ticular about the sound is that he
is blind.
Before a childhood afflieation
deprived him of his si"ht he
watched trains making up in a
Staten Island yard and the sights
still stand out vividly in his mem
