Hello from Wagoner Switch, OK, once the cross roads of the MKT & MoPAC lines. Now, we're just a simple UP town, with about 20 trains a day rumbling through town. We see tons of coal porters heading south towards Dallas; articulated car haulers going north; old, old Canadian grain hoppers heading both ways. Most of these are pulled by several big dash-8 type engines with an engine at the rear. Well over 100 cars each. It's an interesting town to live and watch trains in. If you need some pictures or video of trains, I can grab all you want in an afternoon. The UP's Challenger came through not too long ago. It was quite a sight to see, and hear. They stopped downtown and oiled her up, before taking off for Kansas and parts north. The whistle was incredible. I've loved trains and model trains for years, my first layout being on a 4 x 8 that folded down from the ceiling above my bed as a child. The set was a Tyco Durango special with the spotlight car and everything. My son and I built the Woodland Scenics foam layout in HO a few years back. Then, ripped it up and went to N for more space. Now we are moving and the trains are in boxes on the shelf, ready to move. The new place has no obvious place for a layout, so we'll have to figure out something. In the meantime, I have been considering doing some scratchbuilding in styrene and then possibly doing some mold making and resin casting of structures. This is really a great site. I like how everyone is talks regardless of scale or experience level. Keep up the good work, everybody.
