Welcome

My love of trains started at a very young age with a Lionel set around the Christmas tree. At about 8 or 10 years old I was given my first train-set and a layout to run them on. It was an old Athearn F7 rubber band drive with about 8 freight cars to run on it. To this day I still have all of them, most have seen better days. 

I retired at 62 having worked for 42 years at the same job. Now I enjoy spending my time working on my own layout, collecting trains and parts. Attending various train shows locally in Ohio to network with fellow train enthusiasts. Myself and others noticed over the years the decline in hobby shops, which has resulted in finding parts more time consuming. My goal with this site is to help fellow modelers find the pieces and parts they need to complete their own layouts. 

There's much to see here. So, take your time, look around, hope you enjoy my site and take a moment to drop me a line.
