Welcome to the forum. Birmingham is a hotbed of good model railroading. Depending on where in the area you live, there are a number of good hobby shops and at least one really good club where you can meet other modelers and learn.
Good for you. That's the group I was thinking about. I know most of them, and was a member there for about 10 years. They'll teach you well!
Welcome. Birmingham (area - Hueytown) here as well. There's at least one other member on here who is also in Birmingham.
Welcome! I'm not from Birmingham myself, but I have relatives in Pell City and my family visits them every few years. I've hung out with at least 5 different members of this forum on different occasions while I was there. Great bunch of folks!
Even I have eaten Fried Green Tomatoes at the Irondale Cafe, and I'm not a 'Bama native! Great food, great railfanning! (btw it was CJ who took me there)... I know there there are some of these guys that go over to Irondale to railfan over there quite frequently. I have never been but definitely want to go. ...
