Hello Everyone, Well I guess it's time I joined a train website/group.... A little about myself and my trains - My name is Dave and my 11 y/o son just got a new N Scale train set and are jumping into creating a layout for it. So the back story goes - A few weeks ago my son and I went to a local train show and he wanted an N scale set (Guess he liked the all the little trains). I had to remind him of the MTH O Scale trains we have packed away that are never played with, to which he said he would play with these more (first mistake on my part). So I ended up getting "him" a KATO Amtrack starter set and a KATO M2 track starter set (second mistake on my part) and Grandma brought 3 more cars. Once we got it home it was quickly set up on the dinning table and ran a few time before dinner. We had fun and were both bitten (me a little more then him). So the next day being Monday with work -for me - and school -for him - I set about thinking what grand layouts I could come up with for my "son's" trains. So with the help of this and a number of other sites, I have decided that "his" layout is going to be 4 x 7 using KATO Unitrack running at least two trains and when all is said and done I'll even add DCC to it. I am using AnyRail for the design and layout phase and then begging for help on taking that and turning it into a working layout. Thank you for ALL the help and information you'll provide this neebie to N scale Dave
Welcome aboard Dave. We're glad to have you. Hopefully we'll get to see some pictures of your progress. Charlie
Welcome to TrainBoard! There are N scalers here, aplenty! If you have questions, they'll most certainly be able to help.

Hi Dave, Welcome to the TrainBoard. There are many N-Scalers here who would be happy to chat with you and give you help.
Welcome Dave! You sound like you have done a good amount of research already, and we'll all be more than happy to help you along. Welcome!
I'll add my welcome and tell you that you've made a good choice of sites to join - of course, I may be a bit biased? Hope it will be a great experience for the two of you to learn model railroading together!
Welcome, Dave! I guess most of us entered this hobby early on "for our sons"! I recall a slot-car set I bought for my two year old son in 1967! LOL Happy to have you aboard!
Yes , welcome to the addiction... no there is no use fighting it , no way to turn back, and you must bring your son with you !!! :teeth:
