Hi,

Just wanted to introduce myself.  I am 59 yo.  I received my frist train set at the ripe old age of 3 -- a Lionel UP PA freight set.  I swithced to HO at the age of 8 and have been modeling ever since.   I model the PRR Cresson Secondary circa Oct. 1953.  I am also the Layout Design Chairmand and Rolling Stock Co-Chairman for the Western Pennsylvania Model Railroad Museum.  We have a fictious railroad in a prototype setting.  The scenery is prototypical cover Pittsburgh PA to CUmberland MD.  But the primary road The MonValley System is a fictious road between New York and Chicago.  It is composed primarily of RDG, WM, P&LE, B&O, NKP AND WABASH rights-of-way.

Looking forward to a great e-zine.
