I'm a guy who's been in the hobby for a while, and my beautiful wife ceded control of an entire bedroom to me for the "layout of life". In real life I'm a media communications specialist for both corporate firms like Bank of America and for broadcast entities like ABC and NBC. Besides trains, I do enjoy repairing old stereo and radio equipment from the 1930's - to the 1950's.
Always remember, boys and girls, DISCHARGE THOSE CAPACITORS BEFORE HANDLING THEM!!!!!
