Just shy of turning 65 and going on Medicare. A Vietnam veteran and proud to have been in the United States Marine Corps. My favorite railroads have always been the old Great Northern and the former Burlington Northern (Love that green & black). I only have room for a 5' x 9' double-main layout in my basement and my old, Lionel GN Empire Builder is my favorite consist. My other mainline runs a BN freight train (Green & Black, of course!).
