Hello All or should it be y'al: I would like to introduce myself. I'm an HO modeler who is interested in the Missouri and North Arkansas RR and other smaller lines. I have recently moved to Arkansas from the Chicagoland area. I grew up in Northern California along the track of the old Petaluma and Santa Rosa RR (another RR that most likely should not have come into being). My main interest is structures. Depots get my heart racing every time. I look forward to being part of the group. Doug Krahn
Welcome aboard, Doug! I also like depots and I've scratchbuilt the two on my layout. You'll find this to be a very fun and informative group.
Glad to have you with us, Doug. As an Arkansas native, I welcome any info of railroading activity in the State.
Hi Doug and welcome aboard! By the Missouri & North Arkansas are you referring to the: * Abandoned line that ran from Joplin, through Seligman, Harrison, and eventually to West Helena. (The old "May Never Arrive" line. i.e, The North Arkansas line.) OR... * The current Missouri & NORTHERN Arkansas that operates over the former Missouri Pacific/UP line from Carthage to eastern Arkansas? IF the old "May Never Arrive"... You're in good company! There's several of us M&NA fans here! Also, there's a Yahoo email group devoted to the North Arkansas line. You may consider joining it, too. Here's a link to it: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/northarkansasline/?yguid=330752852 At any rate, have a lot of fun and enjoy the fella's that hang out here! Andre
