Ex-U.S. Air Force Officer. Graduate of North Carolina State University. Long time Honeywell Employee. Retired in 2004. Grandfather was track foreman for Durham & Southern RR (over 40 years). Always interested in O Gauge Trains since he gave me a Lionel set for Christmas (many years). Started a small Lionel Layout at our home near Boston, MA in 1992. After moving to NC -  created a new small layout with MTH DCS. Layout is 10ft. by 10ft. (2 tiers). Most trains & Rolling Stock are MTH. Track System is Lionel FASTRACK ( 11 switches). Probably have 25-30 Accessories installed + many lighted buildings. I also assist with the best O Gauge Layout in North Carolina ( Mebane NC Train Layout ). Mebane Train Layout is awesome.
