I'm curious. Why not Woodland risers?

My father grew up in Baltimore, born in '50. He was still a Colts fan even after they left Baltimore. He didn't believe in teams moving and being a different team. He always thought the Ravens were the Browns. He didn't have a good answer for me when I asked him about the O's being the St...

Thanks!!!!

I forgot I ordered this until the hobby shop called today to let me know it was in. I've watched some videos tonight. This is going to be fun. If you read this, let me know how you paint your buildings. Air brush? Paint brush? Another way?

Right now, I'm leaning N scale with many 4x8 sections. Each section will have a theme of some sort, like Christmas, Pacific NW, Desert/Grand Canyon, Great Plains, etc. I would have a layout for each and I would have 1 or 2 main lines that just run around the entire layout. I have a long way to...
