I've been on the fringes of this hobby for years. As a boy, we had original Lionel stuff, and some of the GOOD stuff too! After I went into the Military, that stuff got spread out and I never saw it again. Having limited means as an Enlisted man meant that I could not ship as much as I wanted to, so trains were out of the question. After returning home and settling down, I wanted a layout, but my children had no real interest in it. Now my Grand Son on the other hand live eats and breathes trains at 13 months old! It's quite funny! So, I am a seasonal modeler. Can't do much in the yard with either 6 inches of snow on the ground or sub-zero temps. So I pick up a Model Railroader from time to time and I get wacked with the yearly changes in the Hobby. 5 years ago DCC was a very expensive add-on and one that I would not consider. Now, it's a real option to folks enetering into the hobby, or just coming back to the hobby. I've been wanting sound, but knew it was out of my budget, or so I thought! I've not picked up a Model Railroad Magazine now in 2 years, and I picked one up and read it this last month and was amazed at what can be done in Sound HO! And I DON'T have to convert to DCC! I'm on board with that! And this Forum certianly has the right stuff going on. Questions being asked, good well thought out answers with different opinions and options for folks to try. Thnak you all for being here for the newbies and the not so new! Chris
