Hello guys, I have been in the train hobby for about 30 years. I started out with Lionel Trains, and later moved into HO gauge. I was a big fan of assembling Bowser steam locomotive kits, and have also built several roundhouse locomotive kits as well. I had a few Tyco trains early on, but got into Athearn pretty heavy in the late 1980's and early 1990's. I was out of the hobby for about ten years but got serious again around 2006. I started back into the hobby with a Broadway Limited PRR Decapod, and now have twelve Broadway Limited PRR steam locomotives. I also still mess around with Bowser kits, and interestingly enough, I am just about finished restoring a Bowser Big Boy that I picked up a a local train show.

Welcome aboard Eric. We look forward to seeing your posts.
How does that Big Boy run? I heard they are pretty smooth.
