once again Len. Seeing your user name & being from the Pineywoods I can smell the sawdust now.
You along with all of us are presently in the most advanced with the most opportunities ever available in the world of model RR. Think about what era, location, & RR you want to model. Don't be shy to ask questions. I recently well 9 years ago got back into model RR after buying our son his first train set. I was amazed how advanced it had gotten. It is so much fun & the sky is your limit. I know you have picked the best train forum out there. A lot of great modelers on every level just can't wait to help. Just let us know when you need help. Glad to have you aboard.
