Howdy!...

[Cox 1947]

Just wanted to say Hi!..I am new here but been model model railroading for over 40 years...Usta model in HO but a move to a small apartment about 10 years ago forced me into N scale..I have a small railroad I call the Illinois and Southern...We drag southern Illinois coal out of the mines...Railroad is 40 inches by 24 inches with a small "fiddle yard"...Its on wheels so I can move it to make it better to work on from my wheel chair...I run the I&S like a real short line most of locos and rolling stock is stuff I have picked up 2nd and 3rd hand and rehabed...I have alot of time on my hands and I love to pick up older non running stock rehabing it and seeing it back in service..I think Model Railroading is a great hobby and I have got to know some great folk thru it...Jerry
