Model railroading is possable in college but hard. i am a sophmore now, and last year our dorm room really had no space for a railroad. i may have been able to fit something in, but instead i deceided to take a lil time off and only work on model railroad stuff when i came home, which ended up being often enough. as a result when i got out i felt a lil deprived so i spent quite a bit of the summer working on layout related stuff. <br />while in the dorms i did not totaly refrain from the hobby. i tryed to go to a local train show, but didnt get the address in time. i was always online looking up some kinda trian stuff, and since theres a UP mainline right next to our campus i went railfanning down that several times. <br />this comming year im liveing in an appartment wiht more room. so i'm planing on joining the local club, the dues seem resonable and i would find that fun. i also plan on building a modual to go wiht the club ones. i figure that i can squeese a 2 by 4 food layout secition some where in my appartment. as for trains i totaly agree with whoever siad it before, dont bring the best stuff. we broke a lotta stuff last year that was not fradgile. detailed trains would not last long in a dorm room. for this year im still not bringing down any good stuff. just a walthers trainline GP9 that i added some lights to and a few blue box cars. <br />besides haveing the layout to work on, our appartment has the UP main line right behinde it~!!!! im really looking forward to getting some good train pics right from home =D <br />take care all
