In late 1948 I wondered into a Sherwin Williams Paint store and registered for a model train that they had displayed in the window. This was just before Xmas and I won the train. I have been hooked every since. I know model in both G-Scale and HO- Scale. I goy into GRR back in the early 80's. At that time you didn't hear about garden railroading. I was working on a job in the Lake Charles area and found myself in a Discount store. I bought a Bachmann battery powered 10 wheeler with plastic track and it was rc. You may have heard of it. ATSF #7. I also have the #9. Ran them both in the front yard this year. But I need to replace the traction tires on both engines. Doesn't track to good anymore. Just about the same time I started with the GRR we went on vacation up to Arkensas. Stopped in a small town at a roadside flea market and bought a very large box of HO engines, rolling stock track and I dont know what else. The price was $10.00 and my wife groaned. Some of the engines and rolling stock you will see in my layout is from that stock. By the way some of the track is also. Well thats my story for what it's worth. Oh by the way we [#welcome] you aboard. You might want to visit the coffee shop some times. A lot of excellent knowledge meets there on a regular base and dwell out a lot of information. Later Neal
