Monto3,
[#welcome]
The best way to find out about posting photos is to look at one of the "Sunday Photo Fun" threads. At the end of spankybird's postings there is normally a link to the "How To".
Have fun and enjoy. As far as the Acela that is a neat looking set but it is well out of my budget. [:D]

Monto, it sounds like you're off to a good start. And yes, you can post your age here. You can also put a lot of info in your profile. I'm wondering where you live, or at least what state or city you're from. Sounds like you're a student, if so, what grade are you in ? Thanks again, John

Monto,

When I was your age ( don't you just hate to hear those words from an adult ) I had a Marx E8 in the NH livery, a postwar C&O switcher like the one in this month's CTT ,and a Van Camp's pork and bean set pulled by a plastic steam engine. I had some assorted frieght cars too. You are fortunate to be off to such a good start so early on. You will be in for a very rewarding lifetime advocation if you stick with it.

George
