Hello

[rbturner]

I have been reading this forum on and off for a while and decided to join in. I have been a model railroader for over 50 years and am active on a couple other forums. I enjoy repairing old 'junk' the most in our hobby.

I appreciate the welcomes. I am most active here; tycodepot.com

I am a retired firefighter/paramedic with a junk back and spend a lot of time fixing and painting and all that stuff. I have lots of pictures.

I just want to try and abide by the rules here....I saw a bit of conflict in the coffee shop so........

Tyco is what brought me into trains! Tyco is special to me. I have some Tyco projects. If and when I get back to them, I may need some advice.

Thank you for your service. I'm sorry to hear about your back. My nephew is a lieutenant in the Baltimore City Fire Department. He has had back surgery. Seems like it goes with the territory.

We love pictures! You will see firetrucks in the coffee shop from time to time. It is a little chaotic right now, but it will return to normal soon. I'm a regular in the coffee shop. Stop by and say hello if you have time.

Hi and welcome, 50 years in the hobby has to carry some neat tricks.

 

[rbturner]

I am 67. Put out to pasture from the fire service at 44 with around 20 years service. My first train set was an O scale Marx outfit. Then I carried newspapers for 4 years from age 12 on. That money funded my first HO set from Tyco.

Welcome aboard Randy!
I like restoring junk as well, can be both rewarding and frustrating at the same time.
I was a fire fighter for awhile but driving a hi-rail fire truck on the railways.

Randy, you have posted some great stuff! Thanks again for joining our forums.

Thank you sir, I wasn't sure I'd fit in here but I think maybe there is a spot for me. I have 98 pages of pictures posted on imgur. Looks like I had better get busy because it appears you guys like pictures.
