Hello all. I’m finally joining Large Scale Central after Bob McCown invited me to join about 6 months ago. I’m a life-long railroad modeler, who finally settled into 1:20.3 when my fingers got fat and I couldn’t see the detail on HO engines any more! I love steam…check out that photo, and detailing engines is my first passion. My railroad is the Ridgway Grande Scenic, patterned from the Rio Grande Southern as if it had been saved like the Durango and Silverton. I like to think outside the box so don’t look for me to do things the “normal way”.
Looking forward to sharing modeling information…
Jim welcome. I look forward to seeing pictures of your RR and builds. I like people who think outside of the box. You should fit in very well.
Hello to you, Jim.
Always happy to see another join in the fun 
Ralph
