I have been interested in and active in model railroading for over 50 years.  Up to 1989 my interest was 3 Rail O Gauge, having received my first Lionel Train at 5 years old.  I have been a Lionel and other brand O gauge collector for many years. 

I got into G gauge when LGB made their first Christmas Set in 1990.  I purchased one as my first grand son was born that year, and I set it up around our tree.  Next came the LGB 2018 Red and Green Mogel and several D&RGW Passenger cars.  I still have these sets today, and they run great.

When I retired in 1994 I got involved with a chain of Steakhouse Restraurants that ran a G gauge train on an over-head system in over 25 locations.  I started as a service contractor, but that grea to sales, service and installations as the chain grew bigger.  I became a USA and Aristo-craft Trains Dealer as I was selling many trains and track to keep these trains running 10 hours a day.

I retired from that business in late 2007, and started selling trains on eBay and at local train shows, and to local model railroaders.  I also design and sell G Gauge trains for local Garden Railroads.  I am slowing selling most of my O Gauge collection.
