Scott, (list)
Yeah, Bob Bahrs "converted" me from that sinful Penn Central I was modeling to the former Lackawanna Lines. (Hallelujuh! I saw the Light, haha)
I admit my interest in being a career railroader was destroyed when they (The Nasty Cat and that Rabid Horse) decided to kill Conrail.
I actually just turned down an interview with NS 2 weeks ago, just have no interest. It isn't fun now that Conrail is gone. (and Fun was what made Conrail, well, Conrail..)
Worked with the NYGL for a stint, but the money wasn't there, and most of the regionals around here aren't hiring.
I work now for the #1 remanufacturer of engines and drivelines (Jasper) and do ok.
As for modeling, I'm switching to N scale, (lost all my HO) and have been inspired by many great people here on this board to start modeling again. Although my heart lies with several, I figured I would revisit the EL in the early years since its "native" to my back yard.
Good to hear your doing well and still modeling, love the open door on the cab of the pup. Visit us more often, this is the best board on the net in my opinion.
