I've been a Model Railroader since 1960. I am a consultant in the oil and gas industry. I collect O scale modern steam locomotives. I model and operate a free lanced version of the Mopac mainline from St;Louis to Kansas City and the ATSF transcon from Kansas City to LA in N scale The focus is on southwestern RR's in the 1968-present time frame. I am a member of the Train Collectors Association and the N Scale Enthusiasts.
