ModelRailroadForums.com is a free
Model Railroad Discussion Forum and
photo gallery. We cover all scales and sizes of model railroads. Online since 2002, it's one of the oldest and largest model railroad forums on the web. Whether you're a master model railroader or just getting started, you'll find something of interest here.
Another new guy to the forum. My name in John and I just wanted to say hello. I have always wanted to build a model railroad. We are buying a new home and I will finally have some room. I have been collecting bits and pieces for some time.
My interest is HO and an era of the 1930's to 1940's I will most likely start with a 4X8 with an extension.
welcome to the forums
does your name refer to the railroad fireman or the one who enters burning buildings?
My grandfather was a fireman on the CPR prior to WWI. I am the the type of fireman who enters burning buildings. Retired from that now though. I was a brakeman on a tourist RR at one time.
Welcome aboard, Fireman. I'm a retired cop and ran out of burning buildings.

If you can provode us with a sketch of the room you have available, we may be able to suggest a better alternative that the traditional 4x8. Post it under the Layout and Construction section so it doesn't get lost.
