I have been in model railroading for about 55 years. My early years where in W.Va. where with my dad spent a lot of time watching B&O big steam. From about 12 years of age to high school graduation I lived in Houston, Texas where I was around a lot of SP equipment and visited many of the small railroads still running steam, ie: WBT&S, MC&SA. I am now retired and living in East Texas where we have just started the Jefferson & Cypress Bayou Model Railroad Club
