Hi everyone,
My name is JP, im 25 and From England. I've decided to build a model train set with my step son. He really likes trains and i have always wanted a train set myself.
At the moment were trying to decide what we want to design / what era / what kind of trains. I have read some of the help guides linked into profiles which have helped.
The tracks will have to be built on plywood as the weather isnt good enough here and i dont have the inside space to keep it set up. Not sure if any of you have your set ups outside? If you do, what do you do when it rains ? I have a very large back garden, but dont want anything ruined by the weather.
My stepson was VERY impressed by mtrpls' Modern-day New York Central hauls the Tropicana Juice Train. He says he definatley wants one of them, but he says that about all the trains.
If anyone could suggest some places i can get ideas on the different things avalible i would be greatfull. I know hobby shops and eBay are a start, but its hard trying to keep a 6yr old interested in a computer screen while your surfing for places.
Great website by the way. Am looking forward to starting this project once i have thought everything through
Cheers
JP
