Hello all,

I have been reading this board for quite awhile now. I was unable to post until I figured out I had to change my forum profile to "HTML". I could and did post a few "blank" postings. However I was unable to type any message text until I made the change. Maybe there are other new members with their tongue's cut off. If so, maybe this post will help.

I am a retired/disabled Railroader (3rd gen, my son and daughter are 4th gen). I started collecting coins around 10 years of age. Mostly circulated stuff, with the occasional purchase at the local coin shop. When my teens came I could have cared less about coins, but in the last 2 years I have got back into the fray. I collect U.S. Coins and Currency. My current focus is on Washington Quarters, both proof and circulation.

I also do a little model railroading on the side image

I enjoy reading everyones post's and hope to contribute in the future.

Poppee (My Quake III handle)

P.S. - For you spelling Nazi's. I may have spelled "vengeance" incorrectly, but I was to lazy to check. Anyone got a spell checker for this board?

    Welcome to the board, glad you made it in! My son-in-law is a freight train engineer, so we've heard alot of stories over the years. Last week a 5-car derailment as over 100 cars left the yard (empty, reason yet unknown); last year an unconscious man on the tracks run over at 4 a.m. (badly injured but survived.) Those things tend to ruin more than a few days when they happen. I'm sure you and your family could write a book!

    Spelling doesn't count here, despite what a few people think. If it's so bad that it can't be understood, we'll gladly harrass you until you get it right!

    This is a great place to learn and share - enjoy!
    Have bought and sold on BST, many references available when asked.

    Spelling is not as important as grammar and capitalization.

    In this world of hi-tech, I have noticed that many who send text messages and e-mails have forgotten the "art" of capitalization.

    Those of you who fall into this world, please take note of the statement below. I cannot stress enough that grammar is important:

    Capitalization is the difference between helping your Uncle Jack off his horse or helping your uncle jack off his horse.



    Please take note!

    Welcome Poppee!

    I am a bit of a closet model railroader - only because the Lionel HO stuff I collect tends to sit in the closet and not on a layout. One of these days......
