I am new to this group.....really don't care for Facebook?? Looking for other avenues for discussion of the hobby. I am retired and have owned model trains most of my life. My dad bought American Flyer when I was young. I have moved to N Scale in the past 20 years. While I have owned trains for a number of years, I consider myself a "newbie" to the hobby. I love model railroading. I was an electrician/electronic tech for a pipeline and, if there is one area of the hobby I really don't enjoy, it is the wiring......other than that, I love every aspect of the hobby. I am not a "rivet counter". I built a T-Trak module a few years ago so I could participate in some Train Shows with a group that is based in Kentucky. I am attaching some photos of that module. I scratch built the tipple mine, etc. The miner's houses were kits.
