Hello from Glen Allen, VA

[RFP622]

Hello All,
My name is Sean and I live in Glen Allen, VA which is north-west of the Richmond area. I work in IT and have a lovely wife with 4 kids. I have been interested in model railroading and trains for as long as I can remember. I got my first Lionel set when I was 5 and ever since then I have been into trains and modeling. Now of course my teenage years were something different cars, schools and girls (not in that particular order either). However since those years I have been into modeling railroading. I did not always have a spot for them, but I managed to collect loco’s and other cars as time and money were available. I model HO scale with the RF&P being the main focus. I have had a couple of layouts but due to false starts or kids needing more room had to take them down. Currently I have a small switching layout that is 6’x11’x18”. I will post some picture in the lay construction section of the forums.

Hope to learn some new things from the forums. Thanks for reading

Regards,
Sean

Welcome to the board. I used to live north of ya in Woodbridge, Va. Just a couple of blocks from the RF&P main. I too used to model them however it was based on the industrial area of Lorton, Va and it interchanged with my freelance railroad. But as time went on and I created a family. I was forced to sell everything and so now after almost a 10 year break, I'm getting back into the hobby. However I'm in the planning phase and I'm modeling another freelance railroad that interchanges with the ATSF and UP since I now live on the west coast. Look forward to talking to ya and seeing you progres
