    Hey, Yiz all

    The signoff says most of it. (Long Island transplant)

    I'm stuck in the 50's, basically PRR but I have a few NYC and NKP. I'm considering adding a freelanced road "The Shamrock Central" to use some locos picked up during the 70's that don't otherwise fit.

    BTW, that Atlas Spirit has almost, almost tempted me to jump forward a few decades.

    Born and raised in Altoona. Pa. during the wonderful 1940's and 50's steam age. One grandfather a steam engineer, another a breakman and my father a welder/repair man.
    I now live in Burtonsville, MD where I carry on the family railroad legend with PRR N-scale models and a basement shelf layout.

    Spent my first 21 years in eastern New York, and central New Hampshire. So, naturally, I model an obscure B&M sub-division during the summer of 1950, that serves the lumber industry in south Mississippi, also allowing trackage rights for the occasional NYC run-through. :eek: :rolleyes: :confused: :D

    I'm from Saxonburg, PA, a town north of Pittsburgh. I currently live up the road from the Bessemer & Lake Erie Railroad, though I model the UP from the 50's to present. I also have some Pennsy and Bessemer stuff to run as well.

    No layout at present, in the process of moving, so hope to have one running at the new house
    when things settle down.
