I am glad to return to this hobby and resume my life after this semester. I am about to graduate, after making all A's, and on a scholarship, going to result in a masters degree, and my aunt is buying me some trains as a reward: Norfolk and Western 612 4-8-4 steamer. I am giddy just thinking about it. I already have a Boston and Albany Berkshire. Although, I think the J is a once in a life time steamer. YESSS!!!

Congrats on those straight As (and on a scholarship, no less), congrats on setting a career goal for yourself, and congrats on that J!
Way to go!
Congratulations on earning your master's degree! You and your aunt certainly know good locomotives when you see them. I hope you have years of fun running your J and your B&A Berkshire.
First, you have an excellent first name, none better. Straight As in something to be very proud of an congratulations on your Master's Degree Program. The J is a fitting reward for all of that hard work.
I am also very pleased to see young people take an active interest in our hobby.
Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Way to go Brian. Keep up the good work and let us know how that layout is coming along. 
Wouldn't it be more fitting to get a N&W Class A?
You deserve it! Enjoy.
Thank you all so much. I will post pictures of my layout soon; here is a video of my layout "Hattiesburg Junction". I have a well put together layout at the University of Southern Mississippi and nobody even knows. tehehehe. Thats what I like about living in a college enviornment, so many diverse people with talents live so close together, I even found a friend who lives in the senior dorm who is like wicked smart and talented with electronics and helped me with my wiring and better electrical contact with the tracks. Anyway, I hope you like my layout.
Wow! A landscaped O Gauge layout in a college dorm? Well done! I also enjoyed your other videos. By the way, congrats on your accomplishments!
Pardon my ingornace, but I am not familiar with the N&W class A. What engine is that?
Thanks.
