Rob was a model railroader in his
teens and got back into model rail-
roading about 4 years ago with the
start of his first “real” layout. Rob
recently was modeling the Reading,
which was his father’s favorite, but
now he and his son Stephen are
starting a new layout with a modern
freelance theme, based loosely on
the CSX and NS.
Rob especially enjoys structure building and scenery.
Rob’s also looking at using C/MRI for the signals, light-
ing, sounds, on his new layout.
Rob works for GE Energy in the power transformer
repair business. In addition to working for GE, Rob is
a Lieutenant Colonel in the Pennsylvania Air National
Guard, and has been deployed twice, once to Iraq and
once to Afghanistan. Rob is 48, married, and has 3 chil-
dren. Rob’s middle son, Stephen (15), is his partner in all
things railroading.
