Hi....Name of Gus del Castillo; Forum handle = "Steamchest".
Been at this for over 45 years...More if you count a Hornby tin toy train I got for Christmas mannnnnnny moons ago..
Currently expanding HO layout to last me the rest of my days....Layout is a fictional line set in the high desert of NM in late forties-mid 50's. As my name implies, it's all steam, with a regularly scheduled run of the SF Super Chief for variety's sake...
What brought me here is having a Tyco GP-20 from the mid 60's. That was the first of my own engines (the rest were my ol' man's...).
Hope to contribute regularly and learn whatever I can from y'all....
Gus.

Welcome Gus,
Glad to hear you have Tyco in your train heritage. This forum used to have lots of Tyco talk but now not so much.
Have fun with the forum and the hobby.
