I'm really "into" the anthracite (hard coal) region of PA for a number of different reasons, not the least of which is MRR-ing, so one could say I'm a "hard case for hard coal"... "hardcoalcase" for short.

I've always been known for my droll, sarcastic sense of humor. Get it?

When I lived in LA I went out one day with my trusty camera to shoot some trains.  I photographed a GP-30 in the yard where the Pasadena Fwy crosses the LA River and the Golden State Fwy.  The number of the locomotive was 831.  Since I grew up near UP tracks and GP-30s are my favorite diesels, it just seemed logical. 

Less is more,...more or less!

Mine orginally was borrowed from a sign I saw - Yougottawanna short for "You got to want to change" some of the posters her have shortened it to YGW. I liked that so I sign off with that.

Hi

When I was sigining up for the forum I drew a blank, so I fell back on my old CB handle (older guys will remember CBs)  from the 70s and 80s.

Yes I agree, it's a little off topic for a MRR forum but it's too much trouble to change now. It does bring back memorys of a fun little sports car with wings.

Have fun

My surname "Anthony" is fairly common and so is my first "given" name.  But the spelling of my middle name, "Leigh" is less common.  I think I was born and named when Vivian Leigh (Gone with the Wind) was popular.  To avoid having a use a name like anthony123445678, I used "leigh" + an abbreviation of "anthony."

Now for my password.  No, wait, I'm not going to tell that one.
