Tony, Congrats on your choice! When I lived in NJ (15 years ago) I visited the club in Union several times and was totally impressed and awestruck! I can't imagine what it must look like now!! As I am assuming you are a student-aged modelers, I congratulate you on your decision on where to spend your hard earned cash. Model railroading will provide you with benefits long after the X-box is forgotten. Things I learned in model railroading helped me in High School (affect that railroads had in the Civil War), College (Engineering major - basic electronic circuits, dynamic brakes, transportation system design), Business School (Penn Central Bankruptcy, monopolies), Law School (railroad affects on tort law, attractive nuisance of turntables etc) and life (carpentry skills, soldering etc). Moreover, even the things that are frustrating at first will give you a tremendous sense of satisfaction and pride when you overcome them. I hope you enjoy this hobby! I have for over 30 years!
