Thanks Bob. I visited your layout in November 2001. I think that may have been my first exposure to S scale. Of course I also saw the Houston S Gaugers layout in the local shows. Both of those made me realize that S scale could possibly be an alternative for me if I were to ever leave N scale. So, thanks, Bob, for being a positive influence! :-)
