"Cederstrand" was my mothers maiden name. Following her death, I changed my professional Wildlife Artist name from R.B.Scott to Cederstrand as a tribute. She was my early mentor, an inspiration and a fine portrait artist in her own right. I would like to think she is still represented today in the best of my work.

Mine is from the vehicle I drive, a Nissan Pathfinder. It is my work truck.
On other forums, I am known as Trainman. Hope I do not have to explain why here
It's a combination of my wife's name and mine. Rhymes with "Gordon." If we ever go into business together we will call it Cordon Enterprises. Or Cordon Model Railroads or Cordon Computers or, you get the idea.
I was in the middle of building my present layout, and was just beginning to lay the track when I climbed aboard the forum, so I called myself Tracklayer...
Mine was inspired from the colors of my favorite RR, the Burlington Route, whose locos were painted Red and Grey. The 62 is simply the year I was born.
Gryphon, I like your signature with the prayer from the Red Green show!

I tried GoldenSpike first in honor of the famous ceremony at Promontory Summit, Utah Territory, but it was taken already so I tried SilverSpike next and it took!

From the book title "Riding the Iron Rooster" and I was active in the Episcopal Cursillo movement at the time which uses the rooster as one of it's symbols. It's all caps because I don't see as well as I used to and hit the <caps lock> key instead of the <shift> key when I was typing it in.

Piedsou is a short version of my freelanced model railroad, the Piedmont Southern.
You will be able to see the Piedmont Southern in Great Model Railroads 2008.

Hey Dale, I like your nickname! Looking forward to seeing your layout in the GMR2008 issue.
Cheers,

When I first joined this forum back in 2003, I simply strung my first + lastname together. Then I read an article warning against divulging my full name on high-traffic internet locations because of security concerns, identity theft etc. So I nuked the old account and rejoined under my current moniker, which I chose because I had just finished kitbashing an ex-GP35 road slug from an RPP shell.
Now I question the wisdom of using this name, given the widespread hatred of CSX [which I was unaware of until ~6 months ago.] It might be time for yet another name change...
-Ken in Maryland (B&O modeler, former CSX modeler)

Ours is pretty simple. Truck drivers are sometimes called gearjammers. My husband, Larry, is a truck driver. Since I drive too, it was fitting.

Anything is possible if you do not know what you are talking about.

I always wondered if it was related to Lothar and the Hand People, a 60's band that most people have forgotten. They never achieved much success, but some credit them with being the first band to tour using synthesizers and a weird electronic instrument called a Theramin, which was played by moving your hand around a central wire. The electronics converted the changes in capacitance to audio tones.

The equipment I started with came form my uncle when I was younger. It sat in storage for eighteen years. I had to try and make something out of second hand equipment. I also kind of copied Spacemouse's old layout. Once again, second hand. Secondhandmodeler.
Moving forward, I've ended up using only a few hoppers, and a few buildings. The diesels and 50' boxcars are too new to have in my era. I did end up using the brass sectional track, atlas flex track, and the old MRC power pack. They work fine for me right now.

It's out there for sure - there's even a web site called "CSXsucks.com" or something like that. Apparently many Western Maryland fans also hate it because one of its ancestor railroads, Chessie System, acquired and liquidated the WM. (As a B&O fan I've never been too fond of 'Cheesie' myself actually...!)
well it's kinda work related,
I'm an Orthopaedic Surgeon south of the border.
I got my username by just adding "why" to my surname but my nick name in the RAF was Terry. I got this name from Terry Waite who was one of the Beiruit hostages back in the 1980's (along with John McCarthy and American hostages Terry Anderson and Tom Sutherland). I served 17 years with the RAF and some of the guys who I worked with didn't realise that Terry wasn't my real name until a few months before my discharge.
