Well...
The user name was explained some time ago. But now, I see, we are looking at nicknames too and that is a different story all together!
At one point, I was "Redfox"; young, blond hair, red bread and foxy as a fox!
I am now "Greyfox"; old, grayish blond hair, gray bread and foxy as a fox!
Remember....You are the one who asked!
I was named after my dad, Albert Theodore Marshall. ever since I was a kid, my mom and dad called me "Teddy"; It stuck. When I joined this group, the thought of taking on an alias in the form of a username made me feel as if I was hiding my true identity. I'm proud of my name and I am happy to share who I really am with everyone.
I use "Ted Marshall" as my username in several other places online also, such as UltimateBet.net and PartyPoker.net. In Yahoogroups where I'm a member of the Digitrax and FEC forums, I'm teddymarshall2003 and on ebay I'm therealtedmarshall. Apparently there's another Ted Marshall somewhere in California who beat me to it.

I was born Geoffrey Galaxy Louis Andrew Thorvald Kesser. (remember Star Jones, Solie Moon Frye, Daisy Rogers, and its Lou-ie not Lou-is, and its Keys-sir) I could not pronounce "s" right while a child so it came out "keeper".
Not really. When I first got on AOL I was on my brother's computer. I didn't have one then. I adopted a pet name-number combo popular then. I also had screen names on two friends computers, with one digit changed. Anyone who knew me could tell whose house I was at by the name.
When I got my own computer I wanted a new name. Any name I tried that meant something to me was taken. I had been at it awhile, trying new names, when I looked at my watch. AH! ‘timekeeper"! TAKEN . SO I looked at the speakers for the computer. They said "Galaxy" on them. Tried it. TAKEN
AH!!!! OH!!!! But combine the two....galaxytimekeeper was NOT taken and a new moniker was born. It also was easy to understand and for anyone to spell (unless they do not know how to spell "galaxy". BINGO!!!!!!!!
I have been asked if I really do keep the time for the galaxy. I, indeed, always respond ‘of course I do'.

HO and N Scale.
After long and careful thought, they have convinced me. I have come to the conclusion that they are right. The aliens did it.
Simply stated Great Uncle Bruce. My neice started addressing emails to GUB when she had her first little one. For the longest time I did not catch on and then when I did I liked it. Now I use here.
GUB
For nearly forty years I've been drawn to the trackage from Pueblo, Co to Minturn. Twice in N and 4 times in HO, I attempted to recreate the days of heavy traffic in that corridor. The last endeavor was to be a multi-level run from Pueblo connections up a nearly constant grade to a balloon staging at Tennessee Pass. When I stumbled upon the logo of truckline CCX, finally a name for the corporation(s) was settled upon. The freight handling entity is the Canon City Express, the sightseeing equipment is managed by Canon City Experience, and the river float trip group that leases a Budd RDC and a gondola full of rafts is the Canon City Expedition...................thus my handle.
recent developments will probably change the CCX to mean "Chopped, Consolidated & Expunged"
I model N scale.

Our "dream" home's back yard is like a "woodland garden". I love steam locomotives which "toot" so combining "woodland and toot" you get "Woodlandtoots".

And here all along I thought you were a whistle punk.
Before you take offense, be aware that "Whistle Punk" was the job title of the highly skilled logger who coordinated the operation of a high line crew by blowing the little steam whistle on the donkey engine. If he didn't get it right, or if someone else wasn't paying attention, serious bodily injury or death could result.

Wow! Nice car! Another railfan buddy of mine got a red '78 Firebird 440 Big Block (not a T/A) over the summer, and he almost whipped me good with it. Luckily, My LS1-powered Camaro had quite a bit more giddy-up-go at the start and I got ahead early. By the time we got to the next stoplight (finishline for you non-racers out there) about a 1/2 mile down the road he had come from about 6 car-lengths back to a mere 1 1/2.
That being said, I don't want to race you because I think two F-bodies racing against each other is kinda wrong. Heck, I'll just come out with it. You would probably definately mop the asphalt with me!
** On another note, I do not condone nor encourage street racing of any variety.

That there is a right-purty 'Vette! (Redneck for "wow I think your corvette looks nice" lol)
You guys have classics, but I have "New Muscle" i guess you call it... However, my mom's first car was a 1969 Chevy Camaro with a 350. "LeMans Blue" with a black vinyl top. Yep, a BASE model with a 350! I guess the origional owner who bought it in Princeton, KY wanted a "sleeper" or something...
The best part is, she held on to it and it's sitting in our driveway right now! I'll have to show yall a picture sometime.
Thanks for the compliments!

Not realy we did track the car once just to see what it coud due but that was realy not a good idea. I raced many years ago and know that you need the safety equipment to survive. The car does have a sort of roll cage as part of the frame so I pused it to 165 and had plentry to go. That was at Road Atlanta.
If I want a nice ride then we use this:
It is a 1978 Shadow II which we may be selling, I have 16 cars so need to get a few off the books.

As far as nicknames are concerned, I am named after my father and when I grew up we lived in the south- So everyone here now knows I spent my early years called junior, which implies that you're a smaller version of someone else. My father and I were nothing alike ... More on that story later...
As far as my user name... ( One of my favorite subjects ) My railroad, The Penneburgh, Briarwood, and Jameson Railroad or the P.B. & J. This is simple and complex all at once which makes for a great story, and all railroaders real, imagined, or modeled should be good storytellers.
The P. B. & J. first these are classic letters, but my railroad should not be confused with the sandwich of the same name. My kids love this, and I think that the letters of the railroad on some of their clothes and the fact that I make it a family affair for them is one reason I am allowed to budget as much money to the railroad as I am. ... More on that too.
Penneburgh's five and dime was the store that soldtrains in our little town, owner's long deceased. Some of the kindest people you ever met. Briarwood is the stock from which some of the finest pipes are made, and I am James' Son.
I hope this cleares the smoke so to speak.
Mine is rather complicated.....or not so. You see my wife is an avid dragon collector,heck any kind ,color,shape or size for that matter. So while I was trying to think of a name for my steel mill....ding the light went off in my head.
1. I get the wife into my hobby by naming my steel mill after her hobby. By the way this didn't work.
2. She gets into my hobby and doesn't nag me about all the money I spend on my hobby.This didn't work either.
3. I get a cool name for my steel mill and the wife still doesn't have anything to do with my hobby.
So this is how I got my MR forum name. Dragon River Steel Corp......................
