In the early 50s, I had a 3 rail train... too young to know the brand.  For Xmas 1957 I got my first and only HO train, which I still have.  Then life got in the way until 1989 when I joined the SDSONS N Scale club at the Balboa Park Model Railroad Museum in San Diego, CA.  Then I left that in 1995 as life got in the way again.  In June of 2014 I joined the Short Track RR, Home of the Donner Pass Exhibit in N Scale located in Vista, CA.

I'm a transition era modeler and also have 1980's motive power and rolling stock.  I'm in the process of repainting engines to Santa Fe yellow & blue freight scheme, including Warbonnets.  My layout is planned, but construction needs to begin as of Summer 2017.
