    Hi everybody!
    I'm getting back into the hobby after 15 yrs. I've been collecting locomotives and rollingstock for the past 4 yrs. I'm modeling a freelanced line the Saginaw Valley Central set in the present. Haven't started a layout yet though. Anyway glad to be here and looking foward to meeting everybody.

    Thanks guys, I'm modeling HO scale. I haven't really thought about a layout design yet, probably start out with the basic 4x8 or 6x12 table top. Basically my railroad mainly hauls grain with some lumber, scrap, cement, some chemical and coal for a power plant. It interchanges with CSX, so there will be some CSX power. Main motive power will be GP38-2s.

    Nice choice of loco, sounds like a plan for a lot of mixed freights. Good luck and glad to have you along!
