Hi Nicholas,
I look after a Large Scale layout located in a grocery store here. Mainly maintenance. Had to rebuild part of it at one time to accomodate a new 2-8-0. The four foot curves were just tooooo tight. Lotsa' fun. Later eh...Brian.

I sell, install radio control, batteries and sound systems, sell track, switches, replacement chassis, detail parts, etc.
I have advertised in GR for about 10 years.

In my spare time, I am Chief of the Boat on a Submarine.

In my other spare time, I post on bulletin boards.......

My wife won't let me! [:(] However, if she wins the lottery, she may give me a million or so to open a model railroad hobby shop. [:D] Then I can play with trains 24/7 instead of just dreaming about them. [}:)]

I have had a couple in the past, including working in two different hobby stores, and owning my own public train display at the Mall of America. I have also built layouts for others as a business. I am thinking about applying for a job as a driver at the Twin Cities new Triple Crown roadrailer terminal. I only learned of this position as a direct result of the Trains Magazine forum. Proof that anything can happen if you love trains.[swg]
