    Conneaut isnt too far north from where i usually camp at in Andover. Sadly, I dont recall any tracks near by except back west out on a country road and then a set on the PA side a good distance out.

    No I didnt win that one. I just won the three Geeps. I got my Gp38 CR Quality today! I love it. I havent got to run it but the detailing is nice. It will look great heading my mixed freight outta the yard and onto the mainline with the assistance of other geeps!
