More than trains
Posted by John from Oklahoma on Monday, July 29, 2013 12:32 PM

I went to the convention in st louis for the first time with some buddies our primary goal to expand our contacts in this hobby. The trip was a success! I cant say we met anyone that wasnt just great

My aproach to this hobby these days could be described this way.  if given a choice in finding that mint candian pacific passenger set at a steal of a price or getting to make another friend in the hobby  well you can allways find a decent example of a CP set at york next year.

John......Welcome to the Forum.

I have made many good friends, since I joined this Forum. You have the right feelings, which you stated above. You can always find the right train, but good friends are priceless.

John, this has been a great venue for meeting new friends.  I have lost a lot of my life long buddies who have passed on now but fortunately, I have met some great new ones here.  Most of my best friends over the years were guys I met associated with trains, real, toy or scale model including live steamers.  Welcome to the group and keep posting.

Hope it's SOONER than later...Laugh
