First and foremost, I am a member of the Four County Society of Model Engineers. I've worn many hats over the years, as a former President, Vice President and Secretary of the club. I feel blessed to have had a hand shaping and steering the club to what we refer to as "Modular Railroading at its Best!"

     The Moose Caboose. My favorite hobby shop. A family run hobby shop with great prices, great selection and most importantly, great service. Check em out , just click the caboose!

     I also am a self professed DCC nut. I (and the FCSME) run a North Coast Engineering Powerhouse Pro system. Why NCE? Because it's the easiest to use, full function system on the market, period. I also do a lot of DCC installs for fellow club members and friends outside the club. It has turned out to be a nice way to help finance the conversion of my own fleet to DCC.

      4 times a year I can be found at the Great Scale Train Show in Timonium MD. It's the best show on the east coast, (possibly the country) and if you haven't been there yet, you owe it to yourself to attend.

Other favorite web spots include:

Spring Mills Depot. With the largest, most flexible train transport boxes out there! Best part is, you can fill them with their custom run cars and they won't mind at all!!

Railroad Model Craftsman Magazine. Not as much glitz & glam as the other big hobby magazine, but lots more of the stuff that real modelers need. When you get tired of being treated like a newbie, go here!

     Magazine of the  National Model Railroad Association, it's chock full of good stuff. Best part is it's included in the membership cost of being a regular NMRA member. Not a bad deal at all, especially when you consider what the NMRA has done for the hobby in the past, and is continuing to  do today.
