I’m an engineer working in a large Hydro Generating Plant in Niagara Falls. The generators look a little like a LARGE Pullmore motor, so I guess it’s related. What’s greaat is that I live close enough to work that I can go home for lunch and run my trians for 15 minutes.
Retired traffic and warehouse manager, now my traffic is all domestic and a much smaller scale. The best part is that I get a tax deduction for my operation. [^]
Oh Yeah!
In a big G gauge way!
Jack,
I thought the marketing manager for LGB would be located in sunny warm San Diego where I send my LGB engines to be overhauled after a million or so miles of hard running?
Nope- I’m an East coaster. I work out of our New Jersey warehouse. 65% of our shipments are East of the Mississippi.
Zeames1, I’ve been reading up on the International Railway Company - have some neat artifacts from them - bills of lading, tickets… They ran up your way up around the falls.
I too am a school administrator. The district is paying my salary for two days the week before Christmas when I bring my layout to school and run it for the kids. The kids and I have a lot of fun. I have gotten a few of them started with trains!
My employment was train related back when I was in the book publishing business, and it was interesting and a lot of fun. First with Greenberg, then with Kalmbach, and subsequently with Landmark Communications. In addition, I also wrote a regular column for “Vintage Rails” magazine (no longer published) and a good many other publications and newspapers, plus having written three model railroading books of my own.
These days I’m still working on a couple of model RR books–at my own pace–and still in the writing and editing business for a major university, but not directly involved in supporting the toy or model train industry.
After I retire, or even a bit before, I have plans to get back into hobby-related publishing on a regular but more self-directed basis, and am already developing plans for a few projects in that regard. The greatest enjoyment I get from the hobby is providing/sharing information for others so they can increase their own enjoyment.
Hospital finance is my combination profession and hobby. It’s a long way from being train related but Doug’s comment is intriguing - how does the tax deduction come about? [?]
