About this Site

This site is for the railfan hobby and model railroad hobby.  This is rather broad, but it includes photos of my model railroad, and my posts on what I have learned.

This site also contains information on my railfanning and photography trips and other related information.  I will include information about shooting using an SLR, a DSLR and a video camera.

Welcome to my website! I have been a rail-fan and model railroader since the early 90’s. But truth be told I have liked trains since I was a youngster growing up in the 60’s and 70’s in southern Ohio. In the 80’s I moved to eastern Massachusetts and to interested in trains again in the early 90’s. The town I lived in had Conrail’s Boston Line splitting it in half. The rest is history.

I soon discovered railroad photography, and moved on to video. I still do both but presently I favor digital photography with a good digital SLR. I have shot video and made a couple of DVDs that I have I have sold on eBay and at a local hobby shop. I have plenty of video sitting, just waiting to be to be loaded up on the computer, edited and put in final form. Alas, the motherboard on my main editing computer died and I decided to see if I can purchase a new mac sometime after Christmas 2008. When you have a child in college, car insurance, house insurance, dental work and a major car repair bill come due at the same time, they take priority over a hobby. In the meantime, I will upload my stills. I will still shoot video, but for the time being it will be cataloged and archived for future use.

As for model railroading. I have been into model railroading since the early 90’s as well. I belonged to a club for a while, but due to lease arrangements they had to move to a place that made it impractical for me to get to on a regular basis. But this gave me time to work on my own home layout. I plan to share my information and some pictures here as well. I also plan to bring over the information, that I had maintained on my MSN group site to here. MSN was limiting my storage and my comments and photo’s outgrew that site.

Thanks for stopping by.
