If you attend, please come and introduce yourself. I love meeting folks from the forum.

I'm the grumpy looking guy operating the station and roundhouse area. They say SIG means Serious Interest Group. http://www.etesocal.org/sig/ See you, Juha

Not much room for running long consists, but small enough to fit in the back of my Tacoma for the occasional show appearance.

Hi, I'm not really prepared for webcasts, but if you follow the YouTube link In my signature, you'll find a few reports from previous shows. Regards, Juha
