Ascii...and you shall receive.  Oh man, I crack myself up sometimes.   

The Pomperaug Railroad was the fictitious name  for the freelanced layout I was going to build.  Along the way, with the encouragement of a lot of folks , I changed my focus to prototype short line railroading.  The screen name POMPERAUGRR stuck with me.  Since I live next to the Pomperaug River, in CT, it still works.

Here's a bit of background on my current Housatonic Railroad layout project:
