I just joined and am looking forward to getting involved here. I have been a model railroader since I was 10 years old, 61 years ago. My dad and I built quite a few railroads in O27 (American Flyers), HO (Fleischman) and N (Mostly Atlas and Bachman). I have just started designing and building an N scale railroad for my grandkids and of course for myself as well.
Hi AC. Welcome to TrainBoard, a great resource for modelers. New Jersey Southern NTRAK is a great bunch of modelers in your area. If in person train shows start up again they put on some great displays. http://www.njsntrak.us/ I'm up the Schuykill River from you in Berks County.
