Hi from New Brunswick, Canada

Most people don't know where NB is.... look at a map, look at Maine, hang a right.... there we are.

I'm 28 and I've been into model railroading for 25 years now. No lie... when I was 3, Dad took me to a friend's house, whose father had a HUGE CN themed layout in his basement. All I needed to get hooked. I started off with Tyco and Bachmann and have gone from there.

Only in the last five years or so have I really gotten hardcore into specific model detailing. My current projects at the moment are :

- a CP Rail GP30 (5001) with DCC and sound that I'm trying to build as faithful to the prototype as I can, and for how it appeared in 1995 prior to being retired (very chalky paint, faded multimark, etc).

- An NBSR GP38-2 in yellow Sunbury colors. I'm starting with the Proto GP38-2 here.

Sky's the limit from here. I never know what i might be inspired by or what I might build if the mood strikes me. I know that the last train in Fredericton was hauled by a CN M420R... I hear Kaslo's kit is pretty good, and I have an Atlas U23B to power it...

Thanks guys. So far I'm pretty impressed, lots of good info here! I'll post some pics of the '30 pretty soon.

I'm pretty much a lone wolf modeler at this point. Not too many others around Freddy Beach, that's for sure.

Ah, that sucks. I was actually looking to get some Railflyer steps and assorted decals "straight from the source" :-)
