What I mean by that was that the fire alarm went off just then. It was a drill.
As I was saying, in 2001, I got a proto 1000 RDC3 in CPR coloursfor christmas. The next christmas, I got a CP C-Liner AB set, also Proto 1000. I never bought an Athearn again. I got my first Kato in 2003, in June. That made me retire my Athearn -2s. I have since then gotten 1 SD90, 1 SD40-2, 1 SD40(From Kato) 2 GP9s, 1 GP7, 1 S3, 1 RS10, 1 CFA16-4. All in CP colours of course.

I bought myself a train set in 1974. I was 12 years old at the time. I played with it for about a year, and during that time I acquired a couple more locos, some more freight cars, a couple switches, and some extra sections of track. I even bought a copy of Model Railroader - the November 1974 issue. All of that fell by the wayside when I got an electric guitar, and from late 1975 to early 1982 I abandoned model railroading in favour of rock 'n' roll. After that seven year hiatus I gave up the pursuit of rock stardom and returned to model railroading. I still play guitar and run trains. I've even done both at the same time.

I had a nice N-scale oval about ten years ago, but had to give it up when I moved out of Kansas. I would like to start N-scale again, but I have neither time nor money (college student) at this time.

I have been obsessed with trains since i was born which was in 1990. Thats almost 15 years for me! I remember setting up a layout with my grandpa when i was about 10 and he crashed a K4 into GG1 which then rear ended an Erie Lackawana SD45 that broke.

I have been an armchair model railroader since i was about 10, my house was too small for a lay out growing up. About 5 Years ago the army shipped me off to Germany where I got a marklin starter set, started building a layout and i have been hooked ever since.
