    Good day ladies and gentelman. Brief histroy of myself, Retired engineer from the Hoover company(sweeper company) I do own an home inspection company that keeps me active in this area. Started collect ho trains 37 years ago, but never had room to set until we put an addition on the house. I deal with HO gage. Some of my engines are 40 plus years old. Lately I have been going to auctions.Been doing extemly great.last count 60 plus engines and 300 plus cars. I don't belong to any clubs as of now. Maybe later. My trains are seasonal. From Oct to April I work with them Fish the rest of year. From here in Louisville Ohio USA off to work on trains

    Welcome to TrainBoard!

    Glad to know you are having fun. That's what the hobby is all about. I used to fish a lot, but health and the mangled finances thereafter have cut that down to maybe one outing a year. Bummer. :(

    Hi tabrr, Welcome to the TrainBoard. I don't understand how you can allow fishing to interfere with modelling, even in summer....LOL

    Welcome aboard, tbar. That sounds like a massive collection of rolling stock. Any steamers?
    :happy:
