I am a NR EMT-Paramedic, working in NC, love what I do, I feel good when I go home, knowing I have done something to help someone in their time of need. Now the truth, I really do it just to pay the bills, if I could, I would be a MRR builder everyday, would love to work for MRR magazine, they have to have the coolest job building and testing this stuff out, but until they give me a call (railroadinmedic@yahoo.com), I will do what I do. LOL, my Grandfather and Dad worked on the RR in frankfort Ind, when the RR's were booming, now has slowed down to a crawl, but nonetheless, is where I got my love for trains. I now have my first RR (The one my Dad gave me as a kid), on my layout this very day, glad he gave it to me! Take care and enjoy building your dream RR.
