I work on big concrete trucks, actually I've  worked on trucks of all kinds all my life. So at the time I was sighning up I noticed a lot of members used fictitious names so I came up with "Truck".

Well, I was raised in the San Francisco Bay Area and lived in downtown San Francisco with my lovely wife for many years. Hence: sfcouple.  We are now retired living in a small town in Montana and love our new life in the "Big Sky Country." Our new Montana town has zero traffic lights and zero parking meters....somewhat different than San Francisco.  And, best of all, our new (to us) home has a basement where my layout is located.

Fastball ... sounded better than Fast Express.  And a cool band from the '90s.

Mine actually ties back to my model railroad. I freelance and I have called my railroad "Forest Railway" (as you can see from my avatar). Its reporting marks are "FRRY" and though I am not a "kid" so to speak, I have used that in most all of the websites I am on. (And yes, theoretically, the reporting marks should be "FRY." I decided that I didn't like having my reporting marks remind me of fast food every time I looked at them)

Some of our forum names are fairly easy to figure out, such as those with an obvious reference to a specific railroad. Others are not so obvious.

How did you come by your forum names? What do they mean?

I think mine is one of the more obvious ones - I like critter engines.

How about yours?

I'm just a dude with a bad back having a lot of fun with model trains, and finally building a layout!
