RR Hobby

Hi, Mike.

I also am a RR fan,   but my interests are more RR history   (particularly books on railroads/railroading and steam),   and also RR artifacts   (signage, MOW items, and I also managed to buy a torpedo from an junk shop that didn't know what it was).   I currently have around 2,800 titles in my RR (and steam) book collection and are in a text database (a flat file).   All of the "steam" books contain a lot of information, of course, on steam locomotives.       -- Gerard Schildberger (talk) 21:33, 10 August 2020 (UTC)

Hi Gerard! I should also mention that the company I work for is a railroad restoration company. In between figuring out a college major, I got involved with my local tourist railroad and worked there during summers becoming brakeman, conductor, and eventually diesel locomotive engineer, and an operations manager, but also had the opportunity at times to be fireman and hostler on the steam locomotives. This in turn led to where I am now. Our company is an ASME certified shop for building and repairing locomotive boilers, so we have a bit of a library ourselves (although I don't have an exact count on titles...)

Those 2,800 RR books translate to roughly 168 linear feet or so.   That's a good chunk of shelf space.       -- Gerard Schildberger (talk) 23:06, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

As of today, August 31, 2020, the alphabetical categorization of Commodore BASIC tasks now represents the entire alphabet. Woo hoo!
