Greetings all, My name's Robert, and I guess I'm the new guy here...
I'm in Wisconsin, a member of the Neenah Menahsa Model Railroad club. I'm also young in the hobby, being only 30 years old.
My dad's acquired quite a bit of O scale most if it from the 1960s or earlier, and some if it is in the process of recieving various levels of repair or rebuild. I guess the prize of the collection is a complete Lakeshore/Fox Cities 400 set that was entirely scratchbuilt by a jeweler named Doering, complete with a scratchbuilt E7 for motive power. After that comes a pair of Lobaugh kit-built Berkshires (Again dressed in CNW livery and getting remotored) followed closely by a KTM 0-8-0. (getting remotored) (ALL 2 rail)
I recently bought a scratchbuilt 2 rail CNW Class E Pacific (Not E-1 or E-2, just class E) that I'm in the process of modernizing and rebuilding. Its gonna get an NWSL 11.5:1 gear ratio and a coreless motor, some new 75" drivers, and sprung bearings on the axles, probably going to have to replace the side & main rods, and some other stuff... but that's a long, involved and quite torturous story.
I guess that's everything about me worth saying at the moment...
