    Returned to the greatest hobby

    Says to introduce yourself so here goes. I started working with electric trains when I was 10 or so. My dad had a train set that he picked up on his travels and he was more than willing to setup the train set. He actually had more fun that I did at times. He was the type of guy that would...
