A Nickel Plate Road fan since the 1950's when I lived along the Rushville branch in New Castle Indiana. A serious model railroader since 1979 and now, I build what I can't find or fix. Just starting on my first layout, I have been planning it for years. After collecting for more than 45 years, I am financing my layout through the sale of my collection. No need to worry though! With over 700 locomotives, I will have plenty to use on the layout after the selling continues.
