Thoughts and memories

I originally joined THE Gauge in 2006 and came over to the NEW Gauge in Dec 2008 with the invitation from Don and Mickey.....Thanks to you all I have grown from enjoying watching Lionel trains run round and round with no scenery to actually track planning a serious N scale layout, learning about trying scenery techniques, taking operations into consideration, and this year trying my hand at serious craftsmen style buildings to even entering one in a contest to surprisingly win 3rd place, a true personal accomplishment considering the level of craftsmanship on this forum. Many of you I have not nor probably ever will actually meet, but feel as if we've been friends forever.....

Thank you for this forum, it has been a blessing.......I LOVE you, Man......uh, would someone please pass me a tissue???
