Hi All! I stumbled across the forum during a websearch, and looked around some and liked what I was seeing.
Have been around real trains and model railroading as far back as i can remember (there are slide of my dad holding me as a baby, just off the steps of a SF U30C!) Have sorta been away from the hobby for a little while, due to budget constraints, and the sudden passing of my father, the whole reason I came to love this hobby. But now I got the bug again to clean off and rebuild his old layout and bench work.
With the inheritance of his enormous collection, in addition to what I already had, myself, includes brass, kit-bashed, custom paints, and one-offs, and an entire army/fleet of Cary cast engines! I am more than happy to talk about, help out, lend ideas, or even show pictures of anything I have.
See you all around the forums!
(oh, I already had made my first posts in the slugs & bugs thread with some pictures )
