Good evening all, I am new to this site and just getting back into the model trains hobby after many many years of inactivity. However it is not because I haven’t wanted to do it, it has been due to a lack of space. Even though I still don’t have lots of space I recently acquired some N scale equipment and have decided to go that route for the time being, instead of the HO. I am still in the planning phase for the layout, but think that I am going to have a layout in the shape of an “L” and 30 inches wide with the upright part of the “L” being 78 inches long and the base of the “L” being 48 inches long. Look forward to chat with some of you I am sure in the future.
Welcome to the forums, and welcome back to the hobby.

Welcome! Like you, I got back to the hobby, in my case 3 years ago. The forum is great for getting questions answered. A couple of suggestions to point out:
-
in the right column note you can find any prior discussions where you participate, but also making any discussion you’re viewing a “favorite” (by clicking the balloon near the top of the thread) you can save a listing of threads you may want to find readily in the future
-
the “search the community” box half way down on the right can be used to search for a subject. It’s not the greatest as it tends to list back chronologically any thread with a word you type; i.e., not much relevance filtering. So also try google searches with "site:cs.trains…(subject of interest)
-
but ask anything without hesitation
And have fun!
