We have had golden retrievers for about 20 years. Our current goldens are Smokey, a male, and Brandy, a female. We are not breeders, just dog loving people who love Golden Retrievers.

I have played around with model trains off and on since I was little, mostly O scale. I have a 6'x9' layout with Lionel TrainMaster Command Control. In 2001 my best friend built a garden railroad. I liked the idea of running trains outside so in 2002 I bought my first large scale trains. I ran them on a temporary layout for a year and with my friends help I put down a loop of track around some trees in 2003. In 2004 we expanded it and that expansion is documented on this web site.

Well, that's enough about us. Smokey's e-mail address is shown below if you have any comments, suggestions, etc.

I hope you enjoy the Gold Dawg web site!
