My name is Melvin, but my friends call me Sean. My father with the help of his HO guage layout and his Johnny Cash records got me into Tyco & Lionel toy trains as a kid. As I grew into teenhood, these feelings for trains declined, but now as an adult of 35 years, I find they're coming back full force. Now, I'm spending my free time hanging out at hobby shops and constantly building a layout in my mind. I'm hoping that once I get settled into my new house with its huge finished basement, I'll be ready to build the layout in my head.
