Those are some sweet hoppers there. I bought four of them, but only have one put together.....and I hated every minute of doing it.
You are one step ahead of me with the bench work. I hope to start the process sometime in the next couple of months. I'm figuring we have about the same area to...

Welcome.
I haven't been here long myself, but thought I'd say hey and touch base because you are a fellow Texan. I'm out here in Katy.
What scale are you modeling in? Gotta love that 70 to 80 time frame. That's what I'm doing as well with the Frisco in HO.

Thanks for the info......
I just hit one of the few hobby shops in town earlier, bought some stuff, and grabbed a flyer for a train show/swap meet at the end of April. I hadn't been in a train hobby store in over 15 years.

I've been using this stuff forever.

Very nice......
I'm slowing building my coal train as well. I'm only up to 20 cars.
I wish I could find some train shows down here in Houston TX and find some deals.
I'm only aware of one and it's a big show, but it's not until fall.

Thanks...I will have some questions, no doubt.
I spent the first 21 years of my life in Springfield, and now I've been in Houston TX for 24.
I still make it up there at least one a year.

Hi all.....
I've been into trains most of my life and was in the hobby back in the early 90's.
All of my stuff just came out of the boxes about a month and a half ago and since then, I've been buying more stuff in preparation of building a layout.
I hope to start building here in the next...
