About

Well I suppose that I should say a little bit about myself.  I first got into model trains about 20 years ago with my dad and a couple of my brothers.  We had a 5′x9′ HO scale layout that we worked on for several years.  After moving to a new house the layout was put into storage, where it is to this day.

Fast forward about 15 years:  I was headed out to get some lunch when I happened to see a sign that read “Train Show”.  This was my first introduction to the San Leandro Historic Railway Society http://www.slhrs.org/.  I put in an aplication that day.  I passed the evaluation period and was accepted as a full member.  Currently I am a member of both the track committee and the electrical committee.

I intend to use this website to document how I build and weather my models, and also all that I do in building the model railroad itself, hopefully inspiring my readers to try their hand at the various techniques that I demonstrate.
