New Here But A Long Time Fan

Just wanted to say hi.

I’ve been a long time fan, reading Model Railroader since around 1990. I never got a chance though of making a layout and have finally decided to. I enjoy 1940s-1960s mostly and also want to make the layout so I can do some operating. I initially just thought to make more of a diorama, but it seems fun doing operating. My first railroad was a Santa Fe NScale that I got for Christmas in 1970. I still like NScale, but decided that I want to do the Milwaukee Road since, as I grew up watching their trains. Soon I plan to tackle making benchwork and get things going.

Welcome to the forums![#welcome]

You have no doubt accumulated a lot of knowledge in 23 years of observation and will put it to good use.

We look forward to watching your progress.

sorry about the late welcome but welcome.

Welcome celbe00!

All I can say about this fun hobby is: so many models, so many projects, so little time. There’s only one rule: HAVE FUN!

Thanks Dave. I will keep you posted.

I agree…I have so much to build but want to be focused and start somewhat small. Luckily I got into woodworking so making the benchwork should be pretty easy. Nice pic of your trains btw

If it was not for this site I would have gave up years ago! Hum, may I should think about that? If it was not for the help I got here, I have around $8,000.00 more in the bank and could park my cars in the garage?

Quick, runaway as fast as you can!
