[QUOTE]Originally posted by Chuck Walsh: [QB] I just got the green signal. Many, many decades ago I received my first train set, an American Flyer and growing up in the Chgo rail capital made American Flyer more realistic in my mind.When I started my working career, I commuted daily on those double decker Chgo & North Western commuter cars into downtown Chgo. I also had the opportunty to ride the CB&Q-CZ, PENNSY BROADWAY, SANTA FE -ELCAPITAN AND THE ROCK'S ROCKET. In Jan 97, I walked into a Grand Rapids Mi HO hobby shop, thinking I knew everything about trains. Two years later I found out that what I didn't know exceded what I did know. I underestimated both time & money and had my decimal point in the wrong place(guess thats why I flunked accounting) Four years later we are running an freelance HO design,nyc-penn-c&o freight & passenger,late steam to diesels, mid 50's to 70's on a 17x5 and8x5 totaling 120 feet with block controls. My wife & I are maxed out in track, so we are in the scenry stage,a downtown,farm, gravel/concrete plant.Have 60 buildings,300 people,cars and 5 single engine(non-motor) planes=trains,planes & autombiles. Had 5 disasters with Rivarossi Steam Engines. Would like to add early amtrak new walters budd 85 footers coming out & perhaps a Bachman-Spectrum F40PH. I'm still behind the learning curve both in modeling and computer skills. This concludes my train profile, till the next whistle stop. [/QB][/QUOTE]
