I had always been a model builder, but didn't like not having a place for the finished piece. A friend of mine who was a model railroader but in between layouts suggested MRR, because one is constantly building and never finished. I thought "yeah, right, Lionel and tinplate - toy trains. No thank you." The day after Thanksgiving, 1986, he took me to a pure MRR LHS, slapped me upside the head with the December Model Railroader (I still have that issue and can recall the cover - "You are the Brakeman on the Quincy Local") until I saw the light. I was awakened unto the world of both modeling and prototype trains.
