    Just wanted to say hello and introduce myself. I was out of MRR for a long time... long story as to why I was gone:) I'm currently working on a 4 x 8 walkaround layout. Track plan is very boring.. just double main loop with a reverse loop. I'm totally DCC with the exception of a little trolley line that runs through the little town.

    Here is a link to one of my photobucket albums:

    I like steam, but do have diesel power. Most are Geeps with a few modern engines.... mainly the kato Heritage series SD70ACes of the fallen flags. My dad was a conductor on the WP and his dad was a section foreman on the WP. My other grandfather was a section foreman on the SP.

    Ed-

    Welcome to TrainBoard!

    Some great family railroading heritage there! Any interesting stories? If so, perhaps you could share some day? We have forums for both SP and WP.

    I love your river: just the right color. Can practically see the diatoms!

    Thanks for the warm welcome and the comments about my layout boring as it is.:tb-biggrin:

    Having both grandfathers and my dad being rails did lead to some interesting stories. I'll have sit down and write them up so I can post them... I think some of you will enjoy them.
