Paul Hobbs bought his first electric train set in 1960, joined his local club in 1961, the NMRA in 1971 and participated at NMRA Conventions regularly since 1972, presenting clinics since 1987. He enjoys railway history research, particularly of the Spokane, Portland & Seattle Railway, writing numerous articles for that historical society, and publishing equipment diagram books. He has worked on several large layouts belonging to clubs and friends. Give him a switcher, a yard and a switch-list!
