Hello Greg:
Welcome to the forums!!
I model in HO and HOn30. I have scratch built two HOn30 diesel switchers in brass, one of which is shown in my avatar. The other is basically a twin but I corrected all of the goofs I made doing the first one.
Good luck with your new career.

I'm just a dude with a bad back having a lot of fun with model trains, and finally building a layout!
Good to have you aboard. Welcome. Do you restrict your narrow gauge modeling to particular railroad prototypes, or do you model a variety of railroads/eras/locales? There's lots of room in this hobby for a lot of different approaches.
Welcome Greg..Glad to have you aboard.
Like you I been in the hobby my entire life and even railroaded for 9 1/2 years. My passion in the hobby is building and operating Industrial Switching Layouts (ISL).

The attached photo is my work bench with one of my current projects. The Loco is EBT #16 in On3. This is a kit once sold by Sunset. The original model had all drivers flanged so I have turned the center two blind like the prototype. I am now working to get the drive mechanism and running gear working perfectly. All my Locos are (eventually) runners!
Always glad to see a new "face" here, Greg.
My dad was a big fan of Maine two footers and spent quite a bit of time on the Sandy River and Rangely Lakes back in his day. When I came along we made several trips to the Durango & Silverton and Cumbres & Toltec and the East Broad Top.
Presently, I don't model any narrow gauge but next spring I'll begin rebuilding my garden railroad where I'll have some EBT and Rio Grande narrow gauge running.
I look forward to hearing from you again,
Regards, Ed
Welcome to the forum,Greg. I am currently tearing down my U.P. steam themed layout,and will replace it with an On3 D&RGW layout. I look forward to seeing more about your modeling. Though we're definitely a minority here,there are quite a few members who share your interest in narrow gauge.Although pictures are welcome anytime,there is a "Weekend Photo Fun" thread every friday.Stop by and post any pic's of your layout,structures,roster,whatever.

Hello everyone -
New guy here. My name is Greg Ingalsbe and I have been involved with model railroading in one way or another all my life (it’s in my genes). I have a love of all things steam and a passion for narrow gauge railroading. I currently model in HOn3 and On3. I enjoy building traditional “craftsman” style kits including brass locomotives. Over the last couple years I have made a significant career change and developed the ModelControlNet wireless model railroad control product line. So now I really do live and breath model trains, both professionally and personally. Hopefully some of you out there share some of my interests.
