O-Gauge Modeler
I am an O-Gauge modeler. Have been since i was a teenager. Unfortunately I don't have room in my condo for a layout - except for an 8'x8' christmas layout I've been putting together for the past few years. Have been wanting to join a local O-Gauge modelers club, just haven't found one.

I've had a couple of HO and N layouts over the last 25 years or so... still got most of my rolling stock in boxes and am hoping that things will calm down enough for me to do it again in the next few years.

I grew up around trains. My father worked for Missouri Pacific Railroad for 18 years. As kids, we used to visit the Museum of Transport in St Louis several times. They have one of the best collections of old trains in the country. We all love trains and had both N and HO gauge growing up. When my boys were small, their grandma bought them a Lego Train set. We bought additional pieces and ended up with enough to make a 10' pattern with switches and a a bridge. We even found a battery-operated engine. I still have several boxes of HO trains in the top of the closet. I need to build a table, get them down, and start a new hobby!

Woah, didn't expect to see much of a response. I've been working the past few days, and now I'm waiting for my call back to work. Right now it's lookin' like I'll be getting an empty coal train up to Enola, PA. Gotta make that money to pay for my HHR.
Here's what I work with...
Here's a picture of some of my N scale engines...
And a project of mine...A Steasel hybrid. Kinda in a hyatus right now due to work though.

SANDY: Car 11 was the MPac's President's car. Build in 1926. Picture of it in my signature below. (It didn't look like that when we got it. My father "fixed" it up and painted it the blue seen below.)

I just got home this morning. Brought a coal train back from Enola. 130 cars, 17000 tons, 6600 feet, 8000 horsepower on the headend.
And to think, in a couple years I will be the engineer and not just the conductor.
