Introduction

Just getting back into Model RR’s after a 40+ year hiatus. Almost done with my HO layout structure on an 5-1/2 foot by 8 foot table. It’s been fun and challenging so far. The challenging part has been the trestles/tunnels structuring. I’m in Greenville, South Carolina, USA and have a great hobby store here called Blue Ridge Hobbies. They’ve been a great help.

Welcome to the forums and back to model railroading.

I’m sure you have already found many changes in the hobby since you left. You will find more, as new things seem to keep coming along every day.

Don’t be afraid to ask questions or to add your experiences and comments to other folks questions. We are all here to learn and help.

Have fun,

[#welcome] Welcome back to the hobby Paul.

If you need anything, drop us a line, and we’ll be glad to help.

Paul.

[#welcome] back to Model Railroading and [#welcome] to the Forums. As has been mentioned previously, don’t be afraid to ask questions. You can rest assured that just about everyone of us has already asked just about ANY question that you may think of. Remember, the only stupid question is the one that you don’t ask. Most questions will probably get you several different answers, (especially those pertaining to track planning and laying, ballasting and scenery) just go with the one that strikes your fancy. The worst that can happen is that you find that it doesn’t work for you so you start over with some other method.

Best of luck in your endeavours and remember, Model Railroading is FUN! If you find that you are pulling your hair out about something but are having fun anyway, then you are doing it right.

EDIT.

I don’t know why this showed up twice, 'cause I only hit the POST button once???
