You are on the money with the observations. So are many of the answers to you. To me, I am getting back to model rrs after 50 years. I do it for fun and learning skills . Two level rrs over my bed and it is fun. Know any other Great Grandpas that live under the Railroad?

Not in a house [:D][:D][:D]
This Grandpa is just getting back after almost 30 years away. Fighting with the lighting design now.

Folks have posted a lot of great ideas here for the Frugal Model Ferroquinologist. Even today, my most fun comes from buying old already-assembled kits from a box under some guys table at a RR show. Take 'em, cut 'em apart, and kit-bash 'em into some interesting-looking structure that no one else has.

Good luck and hang in there!

It will happen:
When; November 12,2005 9:00 am till 3:00pm
Where Aiken S.C.
A model train FLEA MARKET in conjunction with a LIVE "N" and "HO" running railroad PLUS the 2nd Annual Aiken Festival of Exotic cars. www.seecarr.org is the site to watch.
The deal is this I want to set up a place where the average person can go and bareter or but train stuff. Any scale. This year it will be a little small but 2006 we arelooking into 75,000 sq ft to put it in for 2 or 3 days. I will spend the money if the support is there.
This is my answer to this problem.
Aiken is by Augusta Ga.
Interested? seecarr@bellsouth.net
Fees will be CHEAP if you have your own table and chairs, spaces are 10x10.
Everything else will come to light at a meeting this Thursday.
