I am 82 years old and have been into trains since grade school with Lionell and then HO , then N scale since 1972 and lately Z scale since 2002. I have layouts in both scales and use DCC in both with sound added in N scale. Was an avid scratch builder and kit basher in both scales. my main interest is steam and use too have a large collectio but once I reached 69 and got thorough a stroke I have been selling off my collection at local train shows, but still have a good selection of engines and rolling stock. my second love is doodlebugs or RDC’c and have built quite a few over the years. Live near Niagara Falls on Canadian side.
