Greetings, I spent a good portion of my life living “over seas”, and travel was a primary interest. Along the way my wife and I fell in love with European trains, scenery, efficiency: the whole show. For 28 years I carried around a small MiniTrix set. Eventually got into Fleischmann N, and so began the never completed vision. Now old and retired, I think I have enough years left to build the thing. I believe I have a good start. The only thing holding me back is ignorance. I am full of questions. Thank goodness for the internet. It didn’t exist when I started.
