Tony Segro Online

My name is Tony Segro. I was born and raised in Columbia, a town of about 11,000 in western Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.

On my website, I'm sharing some of my hobbies and interests. I've coached baseball, football and basketball to the youth (ages8-12) in Columbia for close to forty years (started in 1973). The organization is the Columbia Boys Athletic Association (CBAA), a name chartered back in 1952. In 1974, girls joined the boys programs. Girls are a large part of the organization today. The CBAA also has a Facebook page. Photos of all the youth teams I've coached are on my Facebook Page. A link to the CBAA is at the top on the menu bar

Through school and even today, I have an interest in drawing and painting. I also enjoy building scale models buildings and dioramas. Since the late 1970s, I've drawn and painted. For paintings, I began with oil, then later opted to acrylic and watercolors. In 1988, I became interested in model railroading and scratchbuilding. The MY ARTWORKS link on the menu above opens up pages of photos of some of my artwork and scale models from then 'til now.

In 2000, the Columbia Historic Preservation Society (CHiPS) asked me to build an HO replica of Columbia's railroad neighborhoods as they appeared in the eary part of the 20th century. The HO layout on the second floor of the museum expanded to 1000 sq.ft. with scale miles of track. The CHiPS MODEL RAILROAD link will take you to the website pages for this large HO layout. If you like model trains and several YouTube videos of model trains, you'll want to visit that link.

On the right hand side bar, you'll find several links of local interest and history. The CHiPS links transfers you to the Columbia Historic Preservation Society's website. The COLUMBIA SPY link takes you to the Lancaster County Historical Society's website. The Columbia Spy was Columbia's newspaper from the 1840s to the late 1880s. Most (if not all ) issues are online.

I hope you enjoy your visit to my website, and come back again.
