Back in the late 70's I had a Jr. High teacher that really introduced me to model railroading and rail fanning. He took us to the Tehachapi Loop, Colton Yard and several other places to take pictures and watch trains. He started a Model Railroad club at school and we built a HO layout. He had a N scale layout in his garage that we worked on with him. I still make 1 or 2 trips to the Tehachapi Loop every year with a buddy of mine. I have picture from the early 80's of SP blood noses and cabooses (what are those?) I ran into that teacher about 2 years ago and spent a while talking to him. I thanked him for encouraging me in railroading (trains are not really popular with the girls you know) and for giving me some great lifetime experiences. He is now out of model railroading, but he loved to talk about it. <br /> <br />Thats my story. <br /> <br />Bob
