Another relative newby signing in. I also have been lurking and have learned much and from what I've seen, this is one of the best forums going. No condescension, just good friendly advice. I'm currently working toward my first layout with my first train in 48 years or so. I'm planning on doing the 4x8 layout (or a variation thereof) that is on the DVD that came with the Basic Trains (or something) magazine. I can't find the darn thing right now but I'm sure you all know what I'm talking about. So far I have a station, platform, church and general store built. Next to build is the New River Mining Company by Cornerstone. <br /> I'm planning on modeling a scene from western PA in the mid 60's and have been doing some research so that my equipment is period correct. PRR mostly with some Pittsburgh & Shawmut rolling stock in the mix. Scale: HO. Brand new to the hobby. I am 57 years old and recently retired. I live in northern South Carolina. My profile is up to date but by no means extensive so I'll add more as it comes to mind. Thanks to you all for the information you provide and I'll try not to be a pain in the neck with the newbie questions. Cheers!
