I have no clue what you said, but if i had to guess, it means:

"I understand the language of the Polish something", lol.

How about, "I understand the Polish Accent. (Pronunciation of Alex's Last name)"

Re: Teen Model Railroader Place

Mines easy, but I'd bet someone would butcher it up. People make it much harder than it really is since it's pronounced exactly as it's spelled. (Claflin, pronounced Cl-af-lin; the guys here from wisconson might know some of my relatives)

Re: Teen Model Railroader Place

Welcome back!

I don't think I was a part of this when you were active, so how 'bout a little introduction?

We'll all start out again!

So I'm Alex, and I'm currently modeling CP's roster from 1985-present. I have a small switching layout planned that will be run from a fictional railway that uses some older locomotive types, like 44 tonners. The layout and roster will change accordingly to model the different time periods.

Re: Teen Model Railroader Place

 I wrote up a post about my layout, but then I bumped the back button and now I don't feel like retyping it. Here's a link to the website though: White River Southern Railroad

EDIT: I'll just copy and paste from a couple pages back...

When the B&M line between White River Jct, VT and Concord, NH washed out, Guilford petitioned to abandon the line. The state of New Hampshire purchased the line and provided funding to open a new alignment over a route less prone to washouts. Consequently, the grade was much steeper.

A new railroad company was founded to operate the line, called the White River Southern Railroad. A connecting shortline called the DDWH now operates the remainder of the line that was washed out on the East, and the line on the West side of the washout is currently abandoned.

Start-up power for the WRS was a pair of ex-B&M RS1s (EDIT: ex-CN, thank you Alex... I should remember to fix errors when I copy and paste...), an ex-CN FP7, and an ex-B&M GP9. The RS1s were sold to the DDWH along with the remainder of the washed out line, the FP7 is currently stored in WRJ as a parts source, and the GP9 is still operating as 1701.

Additional power came in the form of a GP9, and later an SDP35 (the steam generator was removed, making it an SD35 with a squared back) and a pair of U23Bs. Other locomotives were also leased for a time, during a traffic surge. These locomotives included a CPRail GP35, an MNER GP30, and a Conrail C40-8. The GP30 was eventually purchased, and is scheduled to be repainted. It is likely that this unit will be sold eventually to fund newer power, possibly a later model EMD or a GE.

Re: Teen Model Railroader Place

I have no layout, but do model the BN in the late 70s to early 80s. (before the white face or tiger stripes)
