I have just re-kindled my interest after watching an episode of Incurrable Collector on A&E, and I want something different than building model cars

I have been in the hobby off and on since I received my first train set for Christmas when I was four years old in 1972. I've been into it steady since the mid '90s.

I got my first Lionel train set when I was 10 yrs. old (1957). My interest in trains lasted about 5 yrs. at which time I put the trains away for the next 15 yrs. I got back into the hobby in the mid 70's during the Fundimensions/MPC era. We moved 2 yrs.ago and I'm just getting my act together with a small layout in time for Christmas. Jack

While I have had a beginner's train set all of my life, I really only consider myself new to the hobby. It wasn't until this year that I gave any thought to building a permanent layout & started gathering reading material about the hobby.

I guess having a 3 year old son who likes trains has its effect!
