How's the weather back east.
I grew up just north of you in Big Beaver just outside of Koppel and lived in North Sewickly until we moved to Dewey Az. a couple of years ago.
Lots of railroad activity in that area.

Hunter - When we met in January of 2000, you were just a 6 week old pup who walked his way into this heart of mine as the only runt in the litter who would come over to me. And today, I sit here and tell you I am sorry we had to put you down. It was the best thing for you and also the right thing to do. May you now rest in peace and comfort. Love, Dad. 8 June 2010

I love you and miss you Mom. Say hi to everyone up there for me. Rest in peace and comfort. Love, John. 29 March 2017

Actually as the profile says, Smoggy L.A., Pasadena to be more precise...we are getting ready for "silly season" here...thats when all the Yuckles show up for the Rose Parade, they dont know how to drive, how to park, or even how to cross the street. happens every year so we get used to it.

my wife says in a house with too much junk, I say in a house without enough model trains. Model trains, they're not the way to heaven, but my Mrs. says she might send me there if I buy anymore.
Keep on TRAINing. FDM

Me too, as in I must be here 'cause I'm not all there. <rim shot>

But seriously folks...I was born and raised on the South Side of Chicago, but moved to this area back in 1979 so I could buy a house I could afford in a decent area, and then start a family.

HERE, is the small "city" (pop. 10K about) of Peru, IL which is on the Illinois River about 90 miles southwest of Chicago, 60 miles northeast of Peoria. I decided to model a rural area, granger railroad so if I needed to see how something looked or scenery, etc. in the country, I can hop in the car drive about four blocks to the Illinois River Bridge, cross over, and be out in the country in a manner of minutes. Very convenient to my modeling! Now if I could only get a time machine and go back...
