Jan-31-02, 11:27 AM (EST) "Meet NALW" Hi There,
Thought our Customers would like to get to know us better! So here is a little Bio Data about us;Chuck Schneider ( Physics, Packaging and General Utility Infielder - Chief Cook/Bottle Washer and Factotum )
Born 1945, Allentown/Bethlehem, Pa (Big Steel Country)
Raised and Educated in New England (Southern Connecticut near NY border 36 miles to NY Penn on the NH) And that is where my lifelong love affair with Trains began.
Served in the US Navy (Submarine Service) Active duty from 1963 to 1968 , Reserves from 1968 to 1989 retired Lt.(Same as Army Captain) (Mustang –came up the ranks via Petty Officer, Chief Petty Officer and Warrant Officer)
Married, 4 Children (all grown) and currently 5 “Grand-Critters” (all boyz ages 1 to 4)
Currently Reside in Fairfax, Va., (Washington, DC suburbs)
Employed as a Software Engineer and Systems Engineer by a Fortune 500 Company...Emil A. Benz III - aka Buzz (been called that since i was born - NO one calls me Emil...) (Principal Modeler and 3d Designer)
Born in St. Louis, MO, in 1976, and still live here to this day.
I have an Associate Degree in Computer Networking Technology from Ranken Technical College, and am currently employed by AT&T. I work for their WorldNet Managed Internet Service. My specialty is Cisco Routers and the TCP/IP protocol, over T1, FT1, T3, OC3, OC12, FastEthernet, ATM, and Frame Relay. I am also proficient in the Windows OS and PC hardware, with some experience with Novell NetWare. I also worked for Henze's Hobby House, a shop dealing primarily in HO trains.
I am married and have one child, and a second one on the way.
I have been interested in railroading since as long as i have been alive. My specific interest is Amtrak, especially from the 1980 - 1994 era (before the Genesis killed off the F40). I also have a big Flight Simulator fan, and enjoy aviation in general (though i'll take a train any day!)Graeme Cox aka SamSpade ( Principal Cab Designer)
Born 1954 in Adelaide South Australia
Have always lived in Adelaide except for a year spent travelling Britain and Europe on a shoestring.
My father worked for the SAR (South Australian Railways) starting in the days of steam and working through the big diesels ending up minding passengers on the metropolitan Railcars.
Spent most of the last 20 years working as an Information Technology Officer for the Australian Federal Public Service.
This 'experience' covered operating an ICL minicomputer system, PC-based Network maintenance, Database Management (both PC and mini), IT Training, PABX monitoring, Programming in various ( probably dead by now ) languages and of course the ubiquitous Help Desk roles.
Currently I provide Services Administration for a South Australian based OEM, Protech Australasia. I make sure that people and equipment get to clients when it's supposed to. Protech is a business partner with the likes of Compaq and EDS.Matt Donnelly (Sound Guru - Likes to toot his own horn and Beta Tester)
Born in Auburn NY 1981 (and still living here). Student in college going for a 4 year degree in Business Administration. I also work part time and have a scholarship for my grades and good work ethics. Amtrak is the railroad I am interested in, especially the 1990 - current stuff. I am a locomotive horn
enthusiast and collector, with digital recording capability.Timothy Kent ( Newest Member, Reskins, Lights and Beta Testing)
Born: Kingston Ontario Canada
B.Date April 22 / 1971
I work full time here in Winnipeg, with aspirations to work for Canadian National / Canadian Pacific or VIA Rail here. I figure if I apply enough they are bound to hire sooner or later. My interests include Trains , model railroading, and MSTS. My winters are spent goaltending on a couple hockey teams while my summers are spent riding my Honda CBR 600. I also play Keyboards and guitar in a local cover band here in Winnipeg.
So as you can see we are quite a diverse group from all over the world.Now when you talk to us you can have an idea who you are talking to... And no we don't want to post our Pix as the cost to replace all the Cracked Monitors would be enormous... LOl!------Chuck Schneider---------
