Railroading is so darn fascinating! I'm a big steam fan but no steam down here (except Disney World) so it's CSX diesels. My name on a railroad forum is "trainchaser". Have done some model railroading but never graduated beyond the 4x8 plywood stage. Love the early engines and 4-4-0s of the Civil War and later. Still have my rolling stock but no track and no room for a layout.

Funny thing is that I should be interested in German railroads of the WWI era, since that's what hauled my favorite planes around!
