About: I Started my adventure out in American Flyer S scale as a kid and got into N scale in the early 2000’s. My neighbor Ken Peck was one of the very early pioneers of NTrak. Ken was an architect and did all the ink and pen drawings for the NTrak manual and also designed the steam locomotive logo for NTrak. He also really got me into the hobby. I eventually switched to HO scale years laters, but never had a layout till up to about 6-7 years ago. When I started scratching building and kit bashing models for a 1950s Michigan short line called the Detroit, Caro & Sandusky RY. And what really kicked it into gear was when I was heavily involved with the port Huron and Detroit historical Society. I was there when it was first founded and I left when we finally shut the doors. I was also on the board of directors for a while at the very end. I moved away from the Port Huron, MI area almost 6 years ago and located to Evansville area and slowly been building my 12×10 railroad ever since
