Hi. I've been in this hobby on and off since circa 1956, living with my parents on Long Island, NY and later right in Manhattan where I got the guitar playing bug in about 1963. I eventually became a professional musician and moved to Los Angeles in 1978 where my older brother, a doctor, was living and where my Father had moved to. It was more that than the Hollywood fame and fortune thing. I switched to bass playing as there were few bassists at the time. Anyway, I made a living of sorts this way and took early retirement 8 years back..I've been a member of both the East Valley Lines N scale club and N scale, Belmont Shore MRR Clubs. But I got tired of N scale and went fully back into HO about 12 years ago, the scale I was in as a youngster on L.I. and have remained in HO into today. I am no newbee to the hobby and the 1:1 scales. I'd say I've done everything there is to do in model railroading except hand laying track. I do visit many of the MRR clubs in and around L A. My 2 favorites are the "Slim Gauge Guild" in Pasadena and the Highland Park Society of Model Engineers in San Gabriel. I have yet to see the Pasadena MRR Club since they've gone from analog to DCC. I am NCE and nearing building an L shape switching RR.
I've been a long time member of another forum but have grown tired of their format and so joined MRD.Com today. I'm looking forward to this fresh start with you guys and gals.. Mark
