Oh look a Garry's Mod pic and a new human OC!

Miles Conway is a rail enthusiast and collector who lives in a beautiful town located in White Forest. He is a big time railfan who grew up with trains while living in City 17 with his parents, with his father being a railroad engineer and his mother being a porter at the city station. Listening to many stories of his father's adventures while out on the open rails, Miles loved hearing his father's stories and would sometimes get himself a ride in the cab of a locomotive with his father. But his #1 favorite cab ride he'll never forget was when CPR 1278 came to City 17 to haul a series of excursions with his father being the engineer of that engine and Miles riding up in the cab, all the way to Ravenholm and back.

After graduating from college, Mr. Conway moved out of City 17 to a town in White Forest called Hastwood and began his life long goal of owning a collection of locomotives. The first engine he managed to buy was former Reading 0-4-0 #1190 from a park in Reading, Pennsylvania and also bought a few old passenger cars to go with it. It wasn't as powerful as some of the engines he has today, but it was a good start and was perfect for doing switching duties around the yard in Hastwood along with hauling tourist down the line through the woods of White Forest. This also brought in more visitors to the town who paid to ride behind the little engine, resulting in Miles to acquire former Pennsylvania E7s 4-4-2 #8060 for the much longer tourist runs and Nickel Plate Road H6o 2-8-2 #596, but wasn't able to restore the Mikado to operation until 1988. Then came Western Maryland 2-8-0 #754, Norfolk and Western 4-8-0 #430, Canadian Pacific 4-6-2 #2617 and more passenger cars for more tourist trips.

By 1993, Miles was doing pretty well with the tourist excursions he has offered and in March of that year, he ran the first mainline excursion to City 17 using 2617 and 596 shortly before his father died of old age. The mainline excursion was a big hit and with the money he had made, he began to renovate the yard in Hastwood for his collection. Renovations included upgrading the rails to handle heavier trains since the line is also used by a logging company, a yard office, a small station, a large roundhouse and turntable, shops, engine servicing facility, pretty much made it like the Age of Steam Roundhouse, just different in terms of design and appearance. 1997 started off with the acquisition of former Cotton Belt 4-8-4 #816 and Grand Trunk Western 4-8-4 #6328, with New York Central 4-8-4 #6017 joining the roster later on, but the last two remained as display engines until their respectful overhauls in 2001 and 2008.

At the end of 2019, Miles' collection of locomotives reached to around 34, using them in switching duties, freight runs, tourist runs and mainline excursions when he has permission to use them out on the open rails. He is quite happy to have a wonderful collection of steamers and vintage diesels, along with a fleet of freight and passenger cars that he uses for photo specials and/or tourist excursions. He lives with his wife Jennifer Conway, along with their two children Fleur and Ludwig in their lovely 2 story home near the yard and hopes to pass his love of trains down to his son Ludwig.

Miles is a kind gentleman who shares his love with trains to anyone who asks him about railroading. He enjoys spending time with his family as much as he loves his collection, but always makes sure he spends some family time with his wife and kids when not busy with the collection.
