Hi, my name is Kenny and I live in De Pere, WI, located down the street from Green Bay… witch everybody knows the location of. I got started in model railroading as a memory to my grandfather and great uncle who worked on the Green Bay and Western.
I have a 4x8 layout inspired by the Turtle Creek Central published in the January 2003 issue of Model Railroader. It is a near match with some modifications, of course, for future expansion…since this section of the layout is nearing completion.
I have to say that I love model railroading eventhough I had to teach myself everything that I have learned over the years. I love to build models and do scenery, over running my trains, I am gun shy rolling stock failure.[:'(] I hope that I will be able to get healp in this department in the future.
