Picture of Me About Me:

I live in Endicott, NY and grew up in the Southern Tier of NY.

My hobbies include model railroading and railfanning. I currently model railroads around where I grew up, including Erie Lackawanna and Lehigh Valley. In my free time, I am building a series of HO scale modules that are loosly based on Owego and are pretty much era-less. My O and O-27 collection is slowly growing as I find more items that I like, but the bulk of my trains are HO scale. I even own a few N scale trains.

I've also done some railfanning around Southwest Kansas, where I lived from 6/97-5/99. Look for my railfan photos in the pictures section, and many useful train links in the links page.

Here I am standing beside Union Pacific
