Well, hello
Tristan, 23. Closest railroader in my family was a grandfather I never really knew. Interested in railways since... before I can remember. Wish I could remember, though. That is, I lived in BC in the late 80s-early 90s, and the British Columbia Railway is one of the fallen flags (that lasted into my lifetime, that is) I'd most have wanted to see.
Got into HO modelling for a few years in the mid-late 90s. Looking to get into N sometime. After my early years, had basically no interest in foreign (both US and Canada counted as "over here") railways. My interests expanded, as the signature suggests. Really needed a lot more room for that. My weaknesses range from New York Central steam to older electrics, Alco/MLWs in eastern Canada and the huge iron ore trains of Australia and Brazil. Guess that's the short story.

Yo Tristan & welcome.
Canada has a big foothold on today's British Railway. Love 'em or hate 'em (and we do in equal amounts  ) the output of London Ontario dominates our freight world.Cheers, John Last edited by Flying Pig; 6th April 2009 at 09:23.
