I got mine from a friend when I was in the 7th grade. He was wanting me to create a Twitter account and thought of my username. It took me a couple years before I created those accounts as I was more focused on grades. So, I use it on my social media apps and here.

Even better/funny story is it also won "best Twitter username" for the senior yearbook when I graduated!

In the spirit of Cadillac Mike's post I'll give you a little hint on mine:

There's more than one Hudson in my life.  While the rail version takes precedence, I also wanted to make sure that I didn't forget my automotive background.  'Mellow' comes out of family lore about a specific Hudson Hornet, light yellow in color, with an attitude --  similar to a famous Plymouth named Christine.

I am very curious about the many interesting and unique forum user ID's and would like to ask our members to share the meaning of their forum names. Way back in 2001, I used the handle, Beowulf, as I studied Old English and Beowulf as a graduate student with a noted Beowulf scholar, who was also my mentor and friend. Later, I changed my forum name to Multi Gauge Art to reflect my then three gauge layout: O, standard and G (LGB). Several years later, my layouts in both homes had evolved into exclusive tinplate O and standard gauges, so I changed my name to Tinplate Art. Ironically, I have evolved back to multiple gauges, so I am once again, Multi Gauge Art! I actually own and operate more LGB than tinplate, but I will keep my present forum handle to avoid confusion! LOL!

Mine is an easy one.  Guess which railroad I worked for in the 60's.   When I first started using the email address (about 20 years ago), I soon got a message "is this the Mal Laughlin that I worked with at the NYC in 1967 ?"

My toy train interests go far beyond that, but coming back to the beginning, I'm planning a tinplate exhibit at the NYCSHS convention next year.  It will be Lionel, AF and Marx NYC cars and locomotives from 80 to 105 years ago.

Anyone who may bein the Albany area May 20-21 next year is invited to participate - hoping we can find someone with a 700E.

Malcolm Laughlin

My forum handle is pretty straight forward.  I rode behind 4877 on the final run of the GG1 when I was 14 and closely followed it through photos when it was repainted into Tuscan Red in 1982.  GG1s to this day remain my favorite locomotive even if I haven't added one to my collection in a while.

Well not totally true.  I did track down a Weaver PC one this summer.  Haven't added one for while prior to that!
