1) Why do you model? I don't really know, but I know my emotional connection was started early. I have vague memories of riding a train into New York City, and I moved from their at age three. I vividly recall arriving at my new home in Chicago, and first running downstairs to see if my Lionel Trains had arrived safely in the move. 2) When did you start? See above. From that point, my brother and I built several HO layouts throughout our childhood. Or should I say, partially built.....always stopped by funds, other activities, or desire to build that empire, and eventually we did cover the basement. 3) What was your first train? See above. The actual engines were a Jersey Central Switcher and a Texas Special F unit set. My neighbor had the Santa Fe PA-1, and I was jealous. My mom (another typical story) gave away the Lionel to relatives when we "got too old for it". Never got it back..... 4) Are you a railfan? If yes, what is it about trains that you like? Yes, but not as much as a modeller. I am drawn to large rail yards, and love to study the old track layouts, etc. to figure out how they worked. I can only stay in one spot so long to wait for trains. I seek out hot spots, but usually a few trains satisfies me. 5) How much time a week do you spend entertaining your love for trains and model railroading? If you include daydreaming, and internet discussion groups like this one, about 100! 6) What part of the country do you live in? Dallas, Texas
