Neat idea for a thread, I like this!
I'd like to thank:
- Those of you here who have made nice comments about my postings on my layout (hey, you never know how your stuff is gonna be received until it is, right?). I subscribed to the magazine mostly because of the nice interactions I've had here.
- Several of you who have given me assistance, and friendship online here. I don't want to start naming names as I'll forget someone and feel bad. You know who you are!
- Allan, the editor of OGR. He's one of the nicest editors I've ever worked with (and I've worked with more than a few, in different types of magazines over the years). It's always a real pleasure working with you!
- The Olympia, WA model train group. They're a nice bunch of guys and they totally turned me around on the hobby after being out of it for several years due to a horrible chain of incidents I endured within the hobby when I lived in the South...
- My good friend Bob, from Florida, who's been a friend and mentor ever since I was a teen. I can't believe I've known the man for over 35 years!
- My local pal Robert (different guy, same first name), who helped me with the track plan for my layout, the wiring, other stuff and is a one-man cheering section for my work.
- The late Lee Riley at Bachmann. I just wish I could have thanked you in person. Without you getting the ET&WNC Baldwin ten-wheelers made in On30, I might not be in the hobby today (and for sure not in O scale).
