Hello everybody.My name is Eric and I live in Menifee, CA. I have a wonder wife and three beautiful children. I am new to this forum and fairly new to model railroading. I first started out enjoying model railroading when I was a kid growing up in the 70's. My father bought me a HO train set and it just blew up from there. Next thing you know I was getting bridges and more track and buildings. Soon my father and I had built a nice 4x8 layout.
As the years went on I kind of grew out of it. I was playing sports, getting into other hobbies such as photography, and school and friends became important. After school I started working, got married, had kids, and began my venture into adulthood. Now here I am again. I am trying to gain back a piece of my youth and share it with my kids.
I recently started purchasing new HO equipment and boy has it changed. DCC and sound decoders? Wow! I was lost, but I am beginning to get the hang of it now. I only have two locomotives...an Intermountain ES44DC and an Atlas dash-8. They are both BNSF. I have also purchased about 25 different cars from various mfg. I also have Woodland Scenics supplies, buildings, Atlas code 83 track, and a MRC Prodigy Advance 2 to start building my layout with.
I hope I can use this forum to pick the minds of the brilliant and assist minds with lesser knowledge than myself. It is great to be here. Cheers!
