Just thought I would say hi to everyone. Just retired from the military after 21 years in September, and finally have the time to actually build a layout!

Since I am currently sharing a small apartment though, I will be working in N scale on a small hollow door in the corner of our living room. Should be a great way to practice though and hone my long rusty modeling skills. I've been lurking around for the last couple of months on the forums picking up some great tips and hope to get many more! This seems to be a great place. See you all around!

First things first, Sir Thank you for your service to this wonderful country. 21 years, ATTA-BOY!!

I'm new to this forum as well. But let me tell you THIS is the place you want to be:D :cool:.

Well so far its just blue foam on top of a hollow door. The trackplan is posted here. http://www.modelrailroadforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3004

At least thats what I have come up with so far. I'm waitng for the glue to dry and the track to arrive in the mail! I will post pics in the N forum when things get going.

And you're quite welcome for the atta boys. I loved every minute of my time in the Air Force and would still be in today if I hadn't got disabled. I was actually planning to get a job at the UP when I retired, but now am looking for something else I can do at a desk.

Thanks for the great welcome all!
