In Gods Country, The Panhandle of Idaho about 60 miles to the Canadian border. I am sandwiched between Washington and Montana in the most beautiful mountains in the United States, thats why I moved here after 25 years in East Texas. We are in the Left Bank time zone. It is very rural here, and all my neighbors have between 20 to 150 acres, so I can only see one other house from mine.And yes it really is 1.921 miles to the mailbox. .............Tim

Chief - you forgot to mention that in NC, when one orders a hamburger all the way - you guys put cole slaw (yellow of course) and what we in the southern mid-west call Thousand Island dressing on it (at least when I lived in Charlotte back in '76).

Colin, how about sending me a note off-line at [e-mail]? Our daughter and her family lived in New Zealand (near and in Rotorua) for 8 years, and we visited your beautiful city during one of our trips there. Listened to the "Wizard" of Christchurch during lunch one day.

New member in Rolla MO - heart of the Ozarks - 100 mi from Branson MO - 100 mi from St. Louis MO.... I have a reborn interest in toy trains after about 55 years ago when I put away my prewar stuff...started this winter out of boredom - and really opened up a wide world of interest and enjoyment - and expense! Spent a coupla grand on eBay buying toy trains.....concentrated on lines which I remember - IL Central, MO Pacific; Frisco; Texas Special; Santa Fe....

This looks like the forum for me - others are too contemporary and high tech for me - too serious and uptight. Guess I'm more a toy train guy than scale modeler. I first found the Williams stuff, which had the lines I wanted, and the old Madison cars, which I like. Then I discovered the MTH RTR semiscale sets with the Protosound and speed control - Wow - that sound is fun!

I also am restoring my old tinplate 253 Lionel and 607-608 cars; and 249E loco and tender -- I like both the prewar tinplate and postwar Fand E series early diesels in passenger cars configuration. I am lukewarm on newer diesels and freight, but will eventually go there. Last nite stumbled onto an M10000 UP MTH from 2000 catalog set on eBay, so grabbed it as I have not seen one before. See ya later-

Tom,

I had already made plans to visit another Ogauger that Monday and I didn't think I should push it. Maybe next time.

Man! two more posts and I will have made 50 in less than a year. [:D]

Hi John out there in 'Sunny califonia. This is Bill in cold snowy Lake View N.Y. just ouside BuffaloN.Y. You are right as to the cold keeping us indoors re: playing with trains etc. I just found and signed on today and being a computer dummy it will take a while to figure out how to put pics of my layout on this web site.
I am 73, and never get tired of fooling around with this great hobby. My first train arrived from Santa when I was 6, and it was an immediate love affair. Of course it helps being from a railroad family. My dad was on the Erie for 51 years, a long time in anyones book.
I do not collect, I operate,I consider trains as objects to have fun with not hide in closets. Oh well to each his own. I could never afford the high price trains out there but what I have is all fun ! I worked 14 years in a Lionel service station( part time), as I always had two jobs. (Wife and 5 kids). Anyone with a layout show all the youngsters that might be interested. We need new blood in the hobby.

[GregM]

Tom,

Thanks for the invite. Be in touch later in the week for details.
