Older Santa Fe railroad fan from Texas.

I'd like to introduce myself to this website as I'm brand new. I've modeled Santa Fe in Ho scale for near 40 years. I grew up around ATSF and lived about 50 miles from the Cleburne Tx. shops so I got to see A LOT of interesting things in the 70s and 80s. I will be posting many of my model photos on here as aside from building in Ho scale, I enjoy taking pictures of what I've built.

Welcome aboard Robert, from another fellow ATSF fan and modeler from Texas. I grew up near Zacha Junction in NE Dallas, I now live near what used to be known as Dalton Junction NW of Denton, between Krum and Sanger TX. BNSF renamed it Krum Junction some years back not long after ATSF sold the line (just prior to the merger) between the two junctions to KCS.
If you have time, stop by the Coffee Shop and BS with some of the fellow forum members.

Since someone asked, here are a few more of my Santa Fe models from the 70s to mid 80s. If ANYONE else models Santa fe during this time period, I'd sure love to hear from you.

Home of the CF-7. And a nuclear power plant to boot. I used to frequent sites along Paluxy Creek looking for dinosaur tracks.
