I've always thought that music and trains is a great combination. I believe there are some very talented Forum members when it come to music and model trains.

My favorite train song is City of New Orleans.

Funny you should mention that Arnold.  Trains and music are my two favorite hobbies.  I played brass from 4th - 12th grade, but started playing rock in college.  I've been in 8 bands over the years and gigged with 6 of them.  Started on keys, then keys and bass, and my most recent gigs have been on the drums.  My claim to fame was when a band I was in opened up for America in 2002.  I played bass with that group.

Should the moderator indulge my other interests briefly here is my current drum set up mixing electronic and acoustic drums:

My old setup of all acoustic drums.  I lost parts of this in a flood in 2016.  The insurance claim I got for it had to go to the house renovations instead sadly.

My collection of stringed instruments.  Not shown are my Hagstrom electric guitar and my early father's day gift of a Geddy Lee signature Fender Jazz bass.  The Violin has been in the family for over 120 years and am at best poorly proficient at it.  I bought the acoustic guitar in Magdalena de Kino, Mexico for 400 pesos in 2003 and it rarely looses its tuning.  The Gibson fretless bass was a salvage project and has a custom cherry body I built myself in 1992 and the other basses are Deans which are my go-to gigging bases for the last 20 years.  Finally the other electric guitars are some variation of a Fender Stratocaster knock-off.

My keyboards less my Roland Juno-60, Yamaha DX-100 and a few tone modules I have laying around.
