RadioRon,
Thanks for asking about me and your kind words. I am still here. I have not gone anywhere.
I still read the forum everyday, but tend to post here less than I used to and usually only when I have something important to say.
My good friend Marty Fitzhenry has it right. I am working longer hours than a few years ago, and when I am not working, my two teenage daughters and doing things around the house take up a lot of my time.
I still enjoy the hobby. I have been to all 5 Trainstocks, and still go to York twice a year, but not for as many days as I would like. I get together with my friends Marty Fitzhenry and Gerry Morlitz and Stu Rankin (Lionel LLC on the forum) a few times a year, and occasionally go to NJHR.
In the last two months, I have bought the MTH UP Railking Imperial passenger set, Railking Imperial Pennsy M1a, Railking Imperial Pennsy S-2 Turbine, and a used MTH Premier PS-1 NYC Hudson which Marty upgraded for me to Protosounds 2.5 (proto 2 with LEDs= PS 2.5). I am presently waiting for the second run of the Lionel Legacy Burlington Northern SD-70ACe to come out. The color scheme from the first run was beautiful.
Marty,
Thanks for your kinds words. You are a great friend.
Mr. Ben Fiorello,
I should be careful regarding your slanderous comments or you may be sued. I am not buying you any more beers at York
. Just kidding. Ben and all the guys at the NJHR are great guys and some of my good friends in the hobby.
