I gave some info in my post which explains why I joined this group. I look forward to sharing / participating when I am able to. A quick intro about myself...I was born and raised in Miami, Fla and rode the Silver Meteor several times to Pittsburgh (transfer to B&O in D.C) in the early 60's. About fours years ago, I finally decided to focus my HO hobby to the SAL during the transition era. I have been collecting since high school off and on, but it's been more "on" these past five yrs. I will be taking over a bedroom (10 x 12) for my layout room, since my oldest son just purchased his first house and has vacated his room. (one down, one to go!) When my second son graduates college and moves out, I hope to knock down the wall between the two bedrooms, and expand my territory. This will have to be a joint merger of right-of-ways, as my wife seems to be right, and doesn't see things my way most of the time!... less

For the first 17 years of my life I lived 2 blocks down from SALs Charleston-Savannah mainline and my parents house sat smack-dab against the ACLs 9.75 mile Croghans branch. I'd really like to hear from others their experiences with the 3 lines.
Rick PhippsDave, not too many ACL/SCL lovers on here I am afraid. Kind of like trying to find engines and rolling stock in it. I lived in a little town of Tabor City, NC and both came through there during the 60's and 70's.

I lived in a little town of Tabor City, NC and both came through there during the 60's and 70's. I now live in Florence and have the CSX yard here. My brother-in-law is an engineer in the yard here and has been working there since back when it was Seaboard Family Lines. As to my layout, it is on hiatus at the moment as I am in the process of selling my house but plan on doing a new layout with ACL/SCL as mine. less

Finally took half of what was in my train shack out and moved it to the garage in preparation for the yard sale Saturday. I can finally reach my trains again! I think I will grab some of the kits out and get back to some model railroading activity. :)
