1. I enjoy the challenge of making something with my hands, especially in N scale and I also look forward to solving problems such as weathering techniques, detail work, etc. that I have absolutely no experience with. 2. I started in July of this year (and I'm 55). 3. I actually don't have a train yet, at least not the one I want. I bought a LifeLike F7 to test track with, but I want to model steam. My first actual train set was a Lionel three track steamer when I was three (my Mom still has the train in her attic). 4. Only when I can see steam - I get really bored watching a string of identical boxcars, hoppers, gons or intermodals where the only thing that changes is the car number. I miss the old boxcars where each line had their own colors, slogans and logos. Ahhhh...the pity of growin' old. 5. Countin' the time I spend on this infernal machiine, I guess about 50-55 hours a week. 6. Washburn, Tennessee - in the mountains of East Tennessee.
