Good morning folks! I've been a member on your forum here for a couple weeks but I haven't posted til now. I've been too busy reading and learning. I'll try to keep this intro short. I'm 28 years old and live in Boiling Springs, NC ( well really next to the csx tracks in Lattimore but my heart is still in BS). Anyway my wife and I are expecting our first child in May and I thought it would be a good idea to get my old Lionel train sets out and put it up around the room on a shelf. I had forgot that as a child I had broken the engine of one and the other didn't work when I bought it at a yard sale. So we figured we'd just buy another one from the hobby shop... til we saw the prices [:0][V]. Boy, these people have lost their minds! $1,200 for a steamer? I quickly figured out I am not O scale material. My brother called me up and said to come and get this HO scale train he picked up at a flea market for a few dollars. I think I've found a home in HO scale. <br /> <br />Now my first love besides the Lord and my family is hunting- mainly ducks and coons but whatevers in season is fine. I've always been pretty intrigued by those elaborate model railroad layouts and I think this is something that would be fun to collect and piddle with until I'm ready to build a layout. But until then I appreciate the conversation on here and thanks for letting me hangout and learn a little. <br /> <br />Duck
