First One

Sure is interesting to see what so many of you look like...especially having conversed with you over the internet for a couple years or so.

I'm adding a few additional pictures of me...more because of the trains than me...

Myself and a pair of my favorite Chinese friends from a Bible Study...when a local tourist train brought in 0-4-0t


And then there was that time in England when I saw the locomotive which, despite what Guinness thinks, never has held any world records...


And before that, when I had short hair, my wife insisted that I fake smile...


That last one is a REAL 30" gauge locomotive. While On30 is now (probably) the most popular narrow gauge scale, there was only 40 miles of 30" gauge railroads in the US...compared to 17,608 miles of 3' gauge. I'd love to see Bachmann come out with one of those 0-6-2ts because of it! They make one in HOe (HOn30) and LGB offers it for large scale.
