[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by pennsyperson Thanks, very much StuckArmChairing. That makes me feel wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My mom took me to the Railroader's Museum in Altoona, Pennsylvania when I was 4. I was totally hooked. I stayed at their model railroad exhibit for almost 3 hours. I mean, I was REALLY amazed! I bought my first MR magazine when I was 5. Bought my first locomotive when I was 7. Thanks!!! VERY MUCH!!!!!!! [/quote] Heh, I've been hooked ever since the day I saw one of those huge Long Island Railroad GP-38-2's rumble across the crossing on Railroad Avenue in Center Moriches when I was 3. The geeps are gone now, replaced with the new EMD DE30's, the DE's dont have have the character those old oily geeps had. Whenever I get my car Im going to go around the island armed with a borrowed digital camera and snap as many photos of the geeps (They belong to the New york and Atlantic RR now) As I can, them, the MP-15's and the SW1001's before they disapear and are replaced. I think Thomas the tank engine had a big part to do with me getting addicted to trains (As it is with every modeler my age it seems) Im 15, and this august will mark the 10th year since I started reading MR (My first issue was the August 95 issue with dean fretags stoney creek and western) I'll be starting my forth layout this fall, my first serious operations oriented layout.
