Hi,
First I would like to thank IHC185 for accepting me as a new member. Second I would like to introduce myself, my name is Donnie Tackett I live in a small town in Southern WV where I am actively employed on the railroad. I have just recently become interested in watch collecting and my favorite types being the Hamilton 992's and the 992b's.
Just wanted to get my feet wet with this introduction and will be asking some questions later. Thanks, Donnie

Let me say hello to a brother of the rails

We have a handful of brother "rails" on this site. I spent 42 years in service running the rails in Texas for UPRR. Thank the Lord I am retired and no longer am subject to call at those terrible hours !! Let me say this, retire at your earliest opportunity, there is life afterwards

regards,
bb

Welcome Donnie from a retired BNSF signal maintainer. I agree with Buster 100%. 41 years was enough of day and night calls.
This is a great site. You will enjoy it.

Hi Donnie,

Welcome aboard! I also collect Hamilton railroad watches.

Welcome Donnie! I joined 185 in November of last year and I can tell you this is a great group of people. Always willing to answer questions and provide assistance in anyway possible.

Welcome, yes, good group of folks here. I like the Hamiltons as well. Attractive, well made and not too expensive, plus you can find parts!

Hello Donnie:

Welcome from another railwayman, I worked for the Canadian Pacific Railway in Alberta, Canada for 35 years, until I retired on a medical disability pension. Now I have lots of time to enjoy collecting railway watches, and discussing watch and clock related subjects on this great website.

Thanks for the warm welcome from everyone. I am very much looking forward to reading all the posts on these great pieces of history.
I recently bought my first two watches, a 992E and a 992B that I'll have some questions about.I have already found some very interesting info on these watches on some of the past posts I've been reading
Thanks again,
Donnie T.
