Hello from the Pacific Northwest

[Great Northern]

I am very new to this hobby. My grandson & I are going to (attempt) to build a model that he can control from 100 miles away.

My uncle worked for the Great Northern Railway in Seattle so I was happy the the Great Northern name was available.

Welcome to the group Great Northern.

Sounds like a great build with your grandson.

Welcome to the forum @Great Northern, sounds like a very interesting project, and I look forward to seeing this build, anything you're not sure about just ask, we're always happy to help.

Welcome! I'm glad to hear that you want to build this with your grandson, it sounds like it will be a lot of fun for the two of you. Let us know when you start building, and please, post photos of your build progress. We always like seeing new layouts take shape.

Welcome! Do you have a plan for the (very) remote operation?

Welcome aboard Great Northern. Interesting concept, but I know that it can be done, need some cameras though! Post pictures as you proceed, as we love pictures here.

Thank you
I think that HO might be better than N guage for mounting a camera on the locomotive. I'll start a thread in the appropriate section.
