Hello folks! Have been looking at the site off and on for a while so thought I'd join up. Interesting reads on the sight and I am overwhelmed by the "brain power" contained in it. I just took up HO about a year ago due to the need to slow it down a bit. Ya know, falling off of motorcycles hurts more now when a guy gets older!. Anyway, at 48, I thought a peaceful hobby like model railroading would keep me at home more and sure does wonders for your sanity. I'm not too big on posting, so don't feel bad if I don't contribute much. [I'd rather do, than say!] Thanks- scrat
