Hello: My name is Raymond (Ray) Pittam, 65 years young. I'm, a retired trucker, but worked for CB&Q, with many of my family members in my youth. My Oldest Brother has been a Model Rail Roader since 1944. I, have always enjoyed his hobby, and wanted to someday get into it in some degree. I, was a forman for Rockwell, Steel Co. Atchison, Kansas, making the Pushin Cushion Hitch. I, also, have worked as a volunteer for several Rail Road Museums. My Trucking Company, hauled many loads of Rail Road Equipment for Museums. Now, I'm retired, know nothing about Garden Rail Roading, but have been around several as a sight see'r. I, have always had a love passion for Steam Engines because as a kid back in the 1940s and 50s, I would ride up in the cab of Steam Engines from the places my father worked to where I lived across town, in St. Joseph, Missouri. I, would like to correspond with some Northern California, and San Francisco Bay Area Garden Rail Roaders, and possibly start a Lay Out of my own. If, there is anyone, who has the paticence to show someone around, I would be greatly interested in looking some Lay Outs over and getting acquainted. I, live in the Concord, Walnut Creek area. Years ago, I hauled an Engine, Tender, and two cars for a man in the Woodside area, with several hundred feet of 18" spread Rail and ties. I, have often wondered if this person was still alive, and a Member of the Garden Rail Road Club? His name has excaped me. He, entertained many of the Top Show people of the Bay area, back in the 1960s-70s. Sorry, I got carried away! Sincerely: Ray
