Re: (erielack) New member.

To our latest new member, welcome Tim!

Recently (about two months ago) it was my pleasure to join members of the
Lackawanna Terminal Railway Executive Committee on an "inspriation tour" of
Tim's three favorite model railroads.  

Tim is extremely modest of his description of his layouts, so I'll embarass
him by putting pictures of Tim's two layouts up on my web site for those of
you interested, as well as pictures of the club he belongs to, now located
in Ho-Ho-Kus.  I'll let the list know when they're up and ready for
viewing.  Again, welcome Tim to THE list.
