Welcome cornerfieldrailfan back

Glad you are back. I personally missed all the pics you posted. Been visiting your website to keep up. WELCOME BACK FOR SURE!!!

There you go, Tom you’re back!  Welcome!

Tom and his dad were both members but left a couple years ago. They have a very large family owned layout in Ohio that is open to the public. As best as I remember they had some health issues and more so they left the forum. For us long time members Tom is an old friend coming home.

THANK YOU SO MUCH JOE!!  And also to who have all replied so far. Yes I am back. I'm going to try and put this as a long story short. I ended up leaving a while back because their were health complications going and last year of 2023 was a very bad year for my family and 2024 isn't doing that great either. But to mention about in summary of what has happened, my father has some real leg trouble which has turned into lipedema of his legs + very bad arthritis of his knees. My mother had a heart attack back in the Spring. Then my sister has had 4 concussions, mostly of the head, ulcers, etc, and then to me of that I was in a Car Accident with my mom + I got a severe allergic reaction from stepping on an underground wasp nest in our horse pasture. There is a lot of other things that have gone on, but what is good, is our Museum & Hobby Shop. 

As to new people that do not know me, me and my family own Corner Field Model Railroad Museum & Trading Post Train Shop in Ohio. We are the largest family owned model railroad in the U.S.  Layout is  32' x 145'.  If you have not heard about our place, please check us out online or make a stop out for a visit. 

But anyway, I am back to this forum. I do know some people got somewhat annoyed 2+ years ago I was posting so many posts to this forum I was flooding it, I will definitely not be doing that again. I want to respond to people's topics I see plus post topics certain times.

Also, I am so sorry for the loss of Brian Vail. My prayers & condolences to him and his family!!!   PRAYERS     In honor of him, below I attached a video of the Lionel B&O Columbian Passenger set I bought from Brian quite a few years ago. 

Oy, you guys have been through the collective wringer over the last couple years. I hope things stabilize for you and the family in all regards, especially health-wise. If you don't have that, then you don't have much. Here's hoping for an uptick in good fortune!
