      I am introducing myself as a new member of the forum.

      I have been interested in trains as long as I can remember, both miniature and 1:1. I have dabbled in many scales over the years but keep coming back to O, both 3 and 2 rail.

      I focus on Missouri roads, particularly MoPac and Frisco (I hope mentioning the latter here doesn’t earn me any demerits!). There is a soft spot in my heart for some of their subsidiaries, such as the Sligo and Eastern and the Mississippi River and Bonne Terre.

      I appreciate and look forward to the opportunity to learn more about some of my favorite roads here on this forum.

        Welcome to the forum. As a follow up to the Iron Mountain book I’m writing a second one for the Missouri Pacific Historical Society on the M-I. Hopefully to the publisher by October and printed in March. Lots on the MR&BT will be covered. Stations, locomotives, rolling stock, etc. several Missouri Pacific Historical Society members have been very generous in sharing their photo collections.

          I’m a Frisco ex myself, Steve, and will add my welcome to the forum. Tried to go to work for the Missouri Pacific, but wound up with the Frisco instead. We had a joint meeting of the MoPac and Frisco groups a few years ago in Joplin, Mo., and we all got along just fine together.

              I just wanted to say that I finally did something I should have done a long time ago and joined the society. The help I have gotten here has been worth more than the dues already.

              Thanks again to all!

                Welcome to the Missouri Pacific Historical Society! Hope you can make it to the convention in Ft Smith this October.

                  Welcome Steve. The MPHS is a great resource, filled with friendly people. Are you primarily an historian, modeler,….? Jerry Michels

                    It sure is, Jerry!
                    Amateur historian, long-time modeler (of strictly second-rate ability), and all-around enthusiast.
                    I’ve had model trains and books about trains all my life (Hey! Tootles andThe Red Caboose are about trains, right?).
                    I used to live in St. Francis Co., MO, which sparked a serious interest in the MoPac.
