Much of my off-hours work is directed at my main hobby, model railroads. It was only natural that as my pursuits led to research and history of the many railroads that existed in the US, I would bring the tools of my trade to bear. I use PowerCADD and WildTools for creating and altering model layouts, recreating old drawings of historic structures and interpolating historic structures solely from existing photographs if the structure disappeared long ago.

Rick Blanchard is a Landscape Architect and Senior Associate at Cornerstone Studios in Santa Ana, CA. He is a 1974 graduate in Visual Arts (Fine Arts major) from UC San Diego. He recently moved to northern New Mexico to open a branch office and plans to build an off-grid strawbale home and studio on 56 acres, plus grow some of the herbs used in an Herbal Tea business he and his wife run. Besides landscape work, Rick is a painter and printmaker, and also does some web site design. His main hobby (obsession?) is model railroads, and this has led to design and construction of museum displays and layouts and more recently, garden railroads. Email: rick@urbaneagle.com
