    hey all just figured id introduce myself and say hi. I am 25 married and have a stepdaughter. I have always had a lov of model railroading since growing up my granfather had a layout in his basement. Unfortunately when he passed and everyone cleared the house out all the trains were lost to a big roll off in the driveway because no one wanted to be bothered by them. I am toying with the idea of starting to build my own collection of trains and make a small layout to keep that memory alive.

    Hi, Welcome to the TrainBoard. Glad to have you on board. Do you have a specific railroad or NY State area in mind for your collection? I was born in Westchester County, lived for a time in Rennselaer County, and my mother's family lived in Albany and Madison Counties.

    Welcome to Trainboard. Maybe ... you might get your stepdaughter interested as well. :)

    GhostMedic, welcome aboard. Where in upstate NY are you located? I was born and raised in Herkimer County, Little Falls. Of course that was a VERY long time ago.

    I was born and raised in Oswego. There are plenty of areas with good prototype locations to model. Welcome aboard.
