QUOTE: Originally posted by Rene S Brian, Kevin's right about the San Diego GRS (garden railway society). They are a large, active club and put on lots of how-to clinics. They also built and maintain a railway in Poway at at Walter Anderson's nursery. You're very lucky to be in one of the "hot beds" of the hobby. Rene
QUOTE: Originally posted by kstrong If you want a "full size" set, check your local Sam's club right now. Some of them have a Bachmann Christmas set for around $150, that comes with their "anniversary" 4-6-0 steam locomotive and two passenger cars. You'll be hard pressed to beat that deal anywhere. If diesels are more your style, then the USA Trains set mentioned above will probably be a better start, though at a higher cost.
Is it REAL? or Just 1:29 scale?
Long live Outdoor Model Railroading.
