Spent the weekend running trains with Steve "papa" Eastman and Captincog among others at the Anaheim Packing House.  I have been a lurker on the sight for years and promised that I would post a "Hello". 

I grew up with postwar trains as my father worked for the New York Central and my Aunt and Uncle for the B & O.  Like others got away from it and about 20 years ago got restarted.  Mostly interested in O gauge and Standard and over the last few years gravitated to mostly tin.  A friend of mine told me awhile back that once you get rust under your fingernails you have had it, I've had it.

I want to thank you guys who have been helpful to me in the past and maybe I can be of some service in the future.

One last thing, being around Steve and Jeff can be dangerous, ie..$$$$$$$ spent.

Great to have you hear. Enjoy the ride...

That depends if you stick with just engines that they actually ran yes but if you do like some because they like say a challenger and custom paint it to NYC well there goes that theory lol

You made my point. Since NYC and B&O didn't have Challengers, they're "off-limits". There's an easy $1K savings right there....

Thanks for the warm welcome guys.

Steve I won't rat you out to your Diane but don't rat me out to

my Diane. (Both our wives are Dianes)

As I mentioned before sitting around and running trains all day

and looking on e-bay for trains with the guys is expensive.

Always wanted an Ives Standard Gauge, found a semi-project set,

consensus was to go for it, long story short it should come later

this week or next.

Let you know.
