Hi guys! My name is John, and I am new around these parts. Just getting back into the hobby after a 45 year absence. My three year old son loves this stuff as I did when I was a boy. His first engine is a 1956(?) Lionel GP-7 Milwaukee Road #2338 that my grandfather gave my dad when he was just a boy. My dad passed it along to me and now the 4th generation is getting to experience this very same locomotive.

My most recent aquisition for the collection is the Lionel JLC Legacy Big Boy #4012, which was acquired new in the box just last week. I still don't have the minimum curve set needed to run it, but they are on the way. I am looking to build an outdoor run for the trains as our home is not suited to allow for a large O-scale layout, unless I scrap my two channel music room, which is NOT about to happen.

Thanks for the great forum, and I look forward to learning more.
