Medically retired and tired of watching the grass grow I took up building models - railroad models. I am currently building a 5X12 layout to run my trains and will be scratch building all scenery and detailing all rolling stock to prototypical specs. As a farm boy, I have never been exposed to RR ops. However, it sounds intreging and much more fun than just watching model trains go in circles. I have been investigating, reading all I can, on RR ops - freight bills, waybills, transfers, etc. and am hoping that one of these days operations will come together in my head so that I will understand how it works. As for sharing my layout... Unable to drive any longer I don't get out to visit with other RR'ers so don't know anyone interested in coming over to see my layout except for my son-in-law and grandson which they come over 'bout once a week to see how far I've gotten on the layout. Working 2-4 hours a day for a month now (see the thread on "The 20 minute rule" http://www.trains.com/community/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=6462) have gotten about 2/3rds of the subroadbed completed. I truly enjoy model railroading and reading all the great threads on these boards. Most threads are very informative.
