Welcome aboard. You found the best forum on the Internet, and the best people too. Ask if you need any help.
Nice pictures, I would say a great start.
I am Charlie B, I just retired from a shortline railroad in Schenley, Pa., where I was the top and almost the bottom man. I had two part time employees and the best bunch of volunteers in the United States. We had 2 freight customers and did a tourist train <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.kiskijunction.com">www.kiskijunction.com</a><!-- w -->
I'm currently building a building to house my layout, so I have nothing here running, although my old pike is still setup at my old home about a mile away.
I'm looking forward to more of your posts.
Charlie Welcome

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
