There's a model train show in nearby Xenia, OH this weekend. If you're a railfan you might want to peruse our selection of train books & classic model railroad magazines. These two looks into railroad history have just been added to our shelves!
Yankee | noun | 1a: a native or inhabitant of New England (Merriam-Webster)
Though not native, I grew up and continue to live in New England — “the hard, impenetrable core of the United States” as described by the late British journalist Patrick O’Donovan.
Married with two children, I am an Eagle Scout, a career Civil Engineer, and member of the United Church of Christ. My interests include American history (particularly the colonial and Revolutionary periods), transportation infrastructure, home improvement (electrical and HVAC), model railroading, art, Rock & Roll, moderate politics, and Christian Universalism.

OC Picked up these cute Pikachu DMUs a while ago. One day I'll put a decoder in them... one day...
