I look forward to what this newly defined sub forum will offer. It will be my first stop each day. I am a beginner, but will strive to be as true to the prototype as I can be. That is what interests me. This will include many aspects- track, rolling stock (that will include weathering and couplers), scenery, and operations. The journey is the fun part. I'm going to experiment, sometimes succeeding, sometimes not. That's OK, I have a lot to learn. I'm not overwhelmed, but anticipating each phase with the enthusiasm of a kid on Christmas morning. I've felt that way for several years now, as I've done research, worked on my track plan, and now as I've started my bench work. And I'll keep looking at all of the great work here on the forum, and incorporate (steal) the secrets of the masters
