Many thanks for the welcome guys. I was introduced to the Forum by Marty G and so far he is the only member from Hamilton that I have met.
I started into model railways in the UK in the early 50's but left the hobby in my teens and gave all my equipment to a friend whose layout I operated on. I came to Canada in 1970 and about 2 1/2 years ago I got the bug again. Although I only have a small endecorated layout while I decide on a bigger layout my wife says I have beome obsessed - in that time I have amassed 40 locomotives and considerable rolling stock. I am concentrating on TH&B, CP, & CN between 1945-55 as they operated predominately in the Hamilton area.
I am a member of the Dundas Modular Railway Club, <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://home.cogeco.ca/~dmrc/">http://home.cogeco.ca/~dmrc/</a><!-- m -->, and actively operate on their 14' and 30' layouts.
I have been enjoying this forum in particular the Shutterbug threads as my other main life long interest is photography.
Thanks again,
Mike Pearson
