I model the New Haven railroad, interchanging with the Central Vermont Railroad in New London, Connecticut. My scenery is loosely modeled for the area and period. In addition to trains, I fly radio controlled airplanes; mostly World War II warbirds. My wife and I have no children, but we have a wonderful dog we got from the local pound 9 years ago named Sally. She looks to be a mix between a poodle and maltese and is the "little girl" we never had.
