Hi, I'm new to these forums but I've been interested in Model Railroading for many years. I've got stacks of MR magazines, but not a single model train item! lol! I'm coming back to the hobby after many years of painting miniatures and building military models. Those are very much in decline as hobbies, and I found that they no longer provide sufficient challenge for my tastes. After researching for the past year, I have decided to attempt to model the (now gone) railroad that used to run here, set in the year 1982. This will not be easy, but I'm looking forward to the challenge. I'm 29, and I won't be building a lyaout anytime soon. Too many other priorities eat up my time and I have a severe lack of space. I will build some dioramas to pracitice skills, but that's probably going to be it for about the next 10-15 years. I, of course, have no idea what the hobby will be like by that time so I'm going to spend the intervening time stockpiling things I think I'll eventually need so when the time comes I should be good and prepared. Its likely that the hobby is experiencing a decline, but there are new people joining up. It just might take us a while to have anything built! ;-) Happy to meet you all, -Sheldon
