Congratulations, Carl!

With all the deserving people already at CTT and Kalmbach, it must have been a hard decision to only pick one.

Congratulations Carl,

As an old hand at CTT, I guess you shouldn't have any trouble going from two rails to three.

Welcome back.

Good for Carl.  Now he has to learn how to play with real trains and not those tiny little two rail things. Wink [;)]  WELCOME
