Darren
The Big Kahoona. Well, the Short Big Kahoona. If he's not in the office he's probably off playing guitar at a club.

Darren lives in Richmond Hill, Ontario.  He can often be found secretly playing with trains at the office at the upstairs layout or at home with his family.

While Darren is not a train "nut" like most of us, he loves playing with trains...which makes him just as nutty...of course, if we ever see a U-2-g hauling an Amtrak baggage car across the main track, we'll know Darren is at the throttle.


Randy
The webmaster and a non-Canadian, eh. He's short too. But he still has hair.

Randy's modeling the New Haven Railroad, is a hack guitarist (enough to get the job done...), and spends a lot of time with his family.

You can follow what's going on with his layout at:
