Hello fellas (and possibly ladies). My name is Ryan and I'm from the wonderful state of Ohio. My home is in Steubenville but I am rarely there. So, here is a little backround about me. I had a huge O 27 gauge layout when I was little, I could run 3 trains at one time. I had a steam engine, 2 santa fe engines, and a Leigh Valley switcher. My dad helped me set it up and it was great! Well, needless to say I grew older and girls and cars started to intrest me more... So then layout went down. Well now I'm 20 and want to get back into the hobby! I don't want to do 0-27 as that is way to big (dad chose that for me cause it was better for little guys!) but now that I am older I want to do a nice HO scale layout. I already started doing tons of reseach. I purchased 2 books, and I am waiting on the other at the library. Im going to try and model my hometown the best I can. I think the era I am going to do is 1998-2002 that way I can have a nice bit on conrail stuff mixed in. I don't know why but I just love conrail! So this way I can have conrail and norfolk southern mized together. So yeah,back to about me, lol! I am going to school at Penn State New Kensington for Biomedical Equipment Technician and I am a Veteran from the Air Force ( I was Honorably Medicaly seperated). I plan on building the layout back home (steubenville) in my dads house. That way we can work on it together. So yeah, you may have read some of my post in the HO section but itleast this way I can get a hello out to everyone! Bye the way, excuse my horrible English, thats my weakness.
