Who's into model railroadin?

[BigFlash]

ive been into rc for about a year now, but my origanal hobby was model railroading,right now im working on 4x8 layout HO layout, ive found that rc is my summer hobby and around this time a year i switch over to rail roading, so i was wandering who shares this hobby with me

I guess I am because I was apperantley in the Will of my Dad's cousin, but we consider her an Aunt, and i just got a boatload of old train stuff on top of the stuff my dad pulled out of the attic....lol

Used to have a ping pong table with my HO set up in my parents basement before they finished it. Nothing fancy, just a bunch of cars, a few engines and lots of track. I still have all my stuff in a large Rubbermaid container under the steps. I was just talking to my family about this today on the way home from the apple orchard when we got stopped at some train tracks, in fact. I don't know where it will go because our townhouse is a little too small for something even a 4x8.

I have easily over $5000 worth of HO trains, cars, track, switches, controllers, transformers etc. packed away in my storage area.

My dad, my brother and i were way into it before RC came along, but now it just all sits in the basement. I always loved the Rio Grande trains, my brother loved Norfolk Southern, and my dad had mainly Burlington Northern.
We never did finish our layout though...

Tons of older vets and retirees in oregon are heavy into railroading. Its shocking, disturbing, and at the same time impressive how many guys have turned basements and spare bedrooms into dedicated railroad rooms.

I have a Lionel set, called the Cannonball Express: http://www.vectis.co.uk/Page/ViewLot...05&Section=566

We have a Lionel Wabash Cannonball set that my wife got for Christmas in 1974 when she was four years old. We've added a few cars and accessories to it and I get it out for the holidays. Everything is all original and it still works great. It would be cool to do a massive layout in G scale and incorporate a crawler course for my micro scaler. The driver in my F-150 scaler is a G-scale conductor that I modified.
