Hello everyone!
Figured I ought to introduce msyelf.
I've been in some form of model railroading or another as long back as I can remember. My Dad and I have been talking trains since I was born. Since I grew up in the Milwaukee area I'm a pretty big Milwaukee Road, CNW, SOO LINE, and Wisconsin Central fan. However my favorite road is the Rock Island.
I've have a 2' x 7' (HO scale) city module now for several years and just recently decided to get to scenicing it.
It has several different elevation levels, etc...
As I'm sure is the case with many members here, just one scale isn't good enough. I also have some G scale narrow gauge as well as ON30. However the other scale I'm into is "Live Steam" or "U" scale. It's 1.5 scale or about 1/8 live size.
This is a picture of the now close to 30 yr old SP 10 wheeler. My Dad and I also have build two SW-1's and a narrow guage plymouth as well as several peices of rolling stock.
Here's a picture of the 2372 pulling a consist of cars my dad and I built. My dad is on the last car, our good friend is running the locomotive.
I'm really looking forward to my time here at The-Guage and hope to be able to share as much knowledge as I've already picked up from some of the members here.
