Glad to be here from Cleveland OH

Originally from Colorado, and native to the Rio Grande railroad (both parents worked and retired from the Rio Grande) as I grew up around the railroad for most all my youth. Had other (aunts and uncles) family who worked for Amtrak and retired.

So to say model railroading has always been in the blood. Now I am challenging myself (may be a source of punishment...haven't determined yet lol!) to modeling in T scale. Actually been enjoying it a great deal and have begun creating multiple items in T scale.

My background is a machinist by trade all my life and very crafty in a multitude of CAD software. 3D printing in resin and FDM printers it another strong suit. So with all that, I hope someday on here I can be a good helping hand, and also learn as I go with people of like interests!

Thanks for having me!

Thanks Tom, I grew up in Grand Junction and that is where my parents retired from back on the D&RG. Have lots of friends in GJ!

Hi Lain, Welcome. Happy to have some one with your genealogical background on board. Looking forward to what you create.

 

Welcome to TrainBoard Lain!

 

Lain, welcome to TrainBoard.

 

Welcome aboard, Lain.

 

Anytime I can help answer a question about cad drawing or maybe help with some tips on 3d FDM and 3D resin printing, i'd be glad to help. I'm usually available in the evenings eastern time as I program for a large machine shop here in Cleveland. Been machining for 30 + years. Been 3D printing for about 8 years... fairly new to 3D resin...but its been really easy to learn.

 

Thanks Tom, you know I will put some posts there.. probably where I should have posted the T scale 3d print pics.
