If you like trains then you have come to the right place. I have been photographing trains since the mid '50's and this
has resulted in a rather large collection of slides and photos. Shortly after I began shooting slides, I started taking 8mm
movies. My hope was to capture a bit of the essence of regular steam operation before it was all gone. (And if you have
seen some of the vintage material you are happy that it has been preserved.) Once steam was essentially gone, I stopped shooting.
Later I realized this was a mistake and in the mid '80's began to shoot video, which I have continued to do, going from vhs,
to Hi8 and finally to digital. This was quite an improvement over silent 8mm film in that I not only captured the motion,
but also got the audio. Until recently my friends and I did a lot of train watching and chasing throughout the States
and over seas. Our main concern was steam wherever we could get it, in the States, overseas, and in China. However we did
not neglect diesels or electric traction whenever we came across it. We like railroads, watching their trains and photographing
what we see. The result is a rather large collection of railroad photography and I am happy to share it as you will see below
and in the following pages. I have a PayPal account, so any of you interested in purchasing items can use either
PayPal or your credit card. Just tell me what you want, and ask for a Paypal invoice. Also provide a shipping address. I
will send you a Payal invoice which allows you to use either a credit card or your Paypal account to pay. Instructions come
with it. Your order will ship when I receive a notice from PayPal that payment is complete and I will let you know that shipment
has been made.
You can reach me with any questions or orders by using the links on the "Contact me" page or
on the bottom of each page.

SHOWS
I continue to appear at different model and railroadiana shows, but the number of shows is slowly being reduced.
In part it is because the loading and unloading along with the set up is a lot of work. This is the 2011 schedule
as I have it so far. There are no shows scheduled for the Summer. Hope to see you at one of these.
SPRING 2011 Feb 19 and 20, 2011 Mad City Model RR Show, Madison,
WI. This is a great show and I will be there. Mar 5 and 6, 2011 High Wheeler Model Railroad Show at Harper College,
Palatine, IL
Apr 3, 2011 Chicago Railroadiana Show at College of DuPage, Gen Ellyn, IL
FALL 2011 October 14 and 15, 2011 Southland
Model Railroad Show at the H.L. Richards High School, 10601 S. Central, Oak Lawn, IL. This continues to be a very interesting

| A Local Scene |

A still from video shot while wandering around the local railroad scene. We are at Brookfield, on the BNSF, former
CB&Q - BN, three track mainline between Chicago and Aurora. An eastbound Metra commuter train stops to pick up passengers,
while a westbound BNSF freight goes by. This is typical of the types of railroad activity you can see on this very busy
line.
