New guy from Chicago; starting to gain interest in model trains after a long stint of doing other things... When I was younger I dabbled in H0 for a while, but looking to get involved in N-scale, and I won't be serious until I get my new house which is hopefully in the late Spring/early Summer. In the meantime, I have plenty of time to think about what I may want to do! Looking forward to soaking in some knowledge and hopefully make some friends!
Welcome aboard. You've come to the right place for info. N scale has come a long way in recent years so I'm sure you'll be pleased with all the things available.
Planning on modeling a local locale? I realize that would be quite a sacrifice. Chicago, historically, only gives you--what?--sixty or seventy railroads to choose from...
Welcome to TrainBoard! Yes. Now is the time to read, get ideas, ask questions, perhaps start looking at a few interesting items.
Welcome aboard, OpelBlitz. Take a look through the archives on the N scale forum and I am sure that you will get some good ideas from them.
Hi OpelBlitz, Welcome. N-Scale offers so many possibilities for all sorts of different people, regardless of the space available.
Interesting name you've chosen for yourself - connected to other modelling interests perhaps? Much to see here so have fun poking around!
