Began collecting HO scale cars and locos over 30 years ago and recently wifie finally agreed to give up some room in the family room. I plan an 8x8 with a hinged walk thru. All my engines are pre-1960 DL&W or Erie, I have accrued about 150 frt and passenger cars and about 300ft of NS code 83 track. At 72 years old it's kind of late but better late than never to get started.

I'll be modeling the Southern Tier of NYS, where I was born. I've spent the past 35 years in central PA. The scenery and adding the little realistic touches will be my thing much more so than operations.
