Well I guess I should introduce myself. My name is Mike Bonomo. I am 57 years of age (yes, you may refer to me as an old geezer and I won't get upset). I have a fairly large number of O-Gauge trains ranging from postwar Lionel to current MTH, Lionel, and Williams. I like Pennsy/New York Central/Jersey Central. Grew up in Chicago and moved to NM last January. Also newly married this summer for 1st time. Met Eric on the trains.com forum when we pretty much agreed on a lot of ideas and had to stick together after certain members decided we weren't welcome. We're still there and they mostly still don't like us. Oh well. Can't please everyone. ;D If I talk about the trains I own and they all seem like "high end" stuff...they are. Please don't take offense about this. It's just what I like to operate. Oh yeah...I'm an "operator", NOT a "collector". Dep Mike Bonomo

As for me, I'm a 46 year old disabled veteran. I'm of Native American descent, my mother is Cherokee and my father is European (German-British-Irish). My parents wanted to raise me Caucasion (white) but my grand-parents had different ideas and school me in the ways of of the Indians any chance they got. It was they who gave me the name 'Running Bear'. Talk about being caught between two cultures! Yikes!
My model railroads interest are strictly HO. I model the KCS, MKT and LMS. I also have two fictional roads, the MG (Midland Gulf) and J & M Mining. I live in a 25 foot trailer and my layout takes up a third of it.

Well, some of you know me already, but for those that don't, my name is Philip Carrell. I model in N scale, steam in Maine. I know, it's not west. That's OK though, because I like all trains. I live in Indiana and I just moved into a new house and I'm trying to finish up benchwork on a new double decked layout. I go to college in the evenings a lot and I am married with kids.
That about covers the basics I think.

Right now it's just benchwork, so it's not too exciting.
