Hey another GN fan YIPPEE. Don't feel bad Mr. Kimball, I envy you actually. You are old eneugh to remember vividly the time period I model (Late 1960s GN [decked out totally in the big sky blueness]) I unfortnunatly missed it by being born about 30 years to late. You can rest assured that if a Time Machine were made this sprite lad of 21 years would be on the first trip to Cascade Pass in the summer of 69. I have to agree with everyone's advice, get a few books by Kalmbach. My choice for a beginners library would be, HO Railraod from Start to finish. (Coveres the building of a 4X8 layout and a small expansion) Painting and Wheathering Railroad models. (A book dedicated to puting a realistic finish on the models on your layout. Detailing Tips and Techniques (A compilation of old Model Rairlaoder Magazine articles that is great for getting ideas on how to detail your layout. (My favorite is the animated kite flying scene) The ABCs of Model Railroading (Another compilation of old Model Railroader Magazine articles that cover all the basic points of the hobby and cover what are now what can be considered "old school" techniques that I still find come in handy every once in a while. Finally every trackplan book you can find. These are really good for generating ideas for a layout and the more you have, the better. James
