Hello,

I have finally found a decently populated model railroading forum.
I look forward to exchanging with you all in the future.

I do have an initial question.... Is there a specific forum or area that discusses vintage kits?
I have a huge stockpile of old rolling stock and structure kits; ambroid, central valley, Campbell, main line, etc... I would love to be able to talk to others that prefer these wood and metal kits over the plastic variety. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you all in advance,

Sincerely,

Jack

Hi Jack and welcome aboard!

As for your question, we really don't have a specific forum regarding vintage kits but I'm guessing you'll get some response in either the forum related to their scale (HO?), General Talk, or Scratchin and Bashin'. We have members with a wide range of experience in model railroading so its likely that some will be very happy to talk about this topic.

Regards,
Ralph

Thanks all :)

I will poke around a piece; I am just thrilled to talk trains again. I just dug out all of my old kits and my old Model railroader magazines; I have a bunch from the 50's 60's etc... I am getting that itch again to start a project :)

Thanks for the kind welcome :)

Hi,

Welcome to the Gauge. I have an Ambroid watermelon car kit that gives me the shivers just to look at it. It's got about two hundred "sticks" of all manner shapes and sizes. One of these days I'm going to bite that bullet. I enjoy building the "Ye Ol' Huff & Puff" (wood & metal) kits. Great fun!!
