63 year old Navy vet, HO modeler since 1957. Model freelance south central Texas railroad , the  "Central Western".  Operationally , I connect to the Sue Line Railroad to the east and the Cat Mountain & Santa Fe  to the west. Richard Kamm is aware of this but David Barrow is not. I live in the woods in northwest LA and have a 16 x 20 train room, one door, no windows, seven foot ceiling. Hog heaven. Attached to the house, an important point.
