Hi every one, My name is josh and i just found this site and decided to join, it seems realy cool
Well Ive been into trains for as long as i can remember, but I have just reasently gotten searius about the hobby. I belong to the Lane Societie Of model Railroaders, from eugene Oregon. We have a permanent layout that is completly DCC, we use digitrax, the layout is a single track main, point to point type lay out with reverse loops, it also has a logging line that has like a 2% grade and our main line has like a 1.5% grade Its realy cool and i plan on getting some photos to show people.
I grew up as a UP fan because my first Train set was UP and I realy like there Yellow Paint scheam and I always get crap for being a UP fan, plus ive always liked there Massive Locos, like the Big Boy, Challenger, and the great Centenial’s. I also have always liked SP equally, but latley i have been pretty bumed out with UP’s Buisness Practices like going after model railroaders and forcing them to pay UP royalties, wich i strogly disagree with, so i think im going to start modeling BNSF as my main railroad and UP as a secondary, plus that way i can continue to model SP, DRGW, BN and Santa Fe.
