Hi everyone. I thought I'd drop a note on here introducing myself. I grew up completely fixated on trains, both model and fullsize. For several years I had a simple HO layout on the standard 4x8 plywood. Then, as I recall, I discovered girls and somehow that trainset lost its luster. Fast forward 20 years, and my wife buys me a simple HO set for Christmas after watching my eyes gloss over while looking at an HO set at some mall. NOW all I can think about is getting back into the hobby. <br /> <br />When I last had a trainset I didn't know what I was doing, but managed to only burn out one powerpack. Now I'm an electrical engineer....which means I can really do some damage this time! The advent of DCC and all of the cool electronics I can now imagine are only adding to my desire to build something! <br /> <br />I look forward to posting lots of questions on here and hopefully providing some answers, too! <br /> <br />Cheers. <br /> <br />- Tim Cleveland <br />
