Koos (pronounced as “coast”
but without the “T”) Fockens is a
Dutch model railroader who lives
in the southwest of the United
Kingdom. He’s married to Vicki,
and has two children. Sadly, nei-
ther of them share his enthusiasm
for U.S. model railroads.
He got the bug at the age of 3.
After starting out in Dutch HO
scale, he switched to N scale,
modelling German railways. He
switched to North American HO in
his late teens when he was introduced to the NMRA by a
friend. His main interests in modelling are the SP and the
California Northern in 1993-94.
