General Discussion / Re: Who Am I? or, Let's Introduce Ourselves
« on: September 03, 2011, 10:14:05 AM »
Hello,
My family and I have been coming to the WW&F for many years now (my wife and I are life members) and really enjoy watching it grow. My wife's parents live in Walpole/Damariscotta so enjoying the WW&F has been very easy. In 2003 I took the steam course at Boothbay and was happy to fire for two days in 2004. I've posted a bunch of videos on my YouTube channel and enjoy reliving those experiences.
I love the opportunities offered by WW&F and Boothbay (Both very different but equal in my heart). That said, I'm a German prototype-based model railroader in H0 and N whose favorite material for structures is card. I've used this very successfully to scratchbuild all the structures on my n-scale modular layout and many on my permanent H0 layout. On the H0 layout I'm slowly in the process of redoing the more urban areas with structures more appropriate to the urban industrialized areas of the Ruhr or East(ern) Germany.
Back to WW&F, a big special thanks goes to the volunteers who with little/no notice switched the caboose into the first train of the morning so that I could ride the train - I need a scooter to get around now and could not have climbed in/out of the other cars safely. Made a fun trip overall perfect.
I look forward to reading here,
Peter
