After years and years of not playing trains (my last "layout" was in 1986 when i was 15), I've decided I'm going to jump in and try to make a small layout this year.
Hello all.
Hello all.
Welcome aboard! You’re at the right place to continue your model railroading journey. What scale are you planning to use?After years and years of not playing trains (my last "layout" was in 1986 when i was 15), I've decided I'm going to jump in and try to make a small layout this year.
Hello all.
There's also Anyrail, you might want to look at that as wellWow, what a nice welcome! Thanks, everyone.
I have some N scale stuff in a box in storage I'm going to dig out. I started collecting some stuff about 15 years ago (ebay finds, and such), but never ended up doing anything with it. Can't remember everything I got, so it'll be fun discovering what's there.
I played around with SCARM last night and mocked up the idea that's been rolling in my head for 10+ years, but thats probably something for a different topic thread.
Anyway, I'll try to post some pics of the treasures I find later. Thanks again for the warm welcome. Happy to be here!
Looks like a nice haul you have, even after you've gone through what's repairable/usable you'll still have quite a selection to run I think.Well, it took some digging, but I found a few dusty old boxes buried deep in the storage shed. Turns out I had more than I remembered, however a lot of it is pretty worn and broken. I remember buying a few 'lots' on ebay that had a few things I wanted at the time. When you buy a 'lot' you have to take the bad with the good. All in all tho, not too bad of a haul to get started, I guess?

There's also a box of "train decor" I still have yet to look through -- non-layout stuff like shelf statues and whatnot, I think. I'll post a pic of that too, later.
I'd love to hear what y'all think. Cheers!
Decent size for N scale, is it a switching one?@flyboy2610 - haha, thanks! Actually, I might be willing to part with it, let me think on it.
@Smudge617 - I'm going with a 2' x 3' micro layout.
I want to start a new topic documenting the build, but I'm not sure where to put it. Would it go under "N Scale" or "Layout Design and Construction", or somewhere else? (I'm thinking "N Scale" since I'm not asking specific questions about layout design and construction.)
You made the right choiceI'm going with a 2' x 3' micro layout.
First, I have a few of those exact same N-scale things....@flyboy2610 - haha, thanks! Actually, I might be willing to part with it, let me think on it.
