Dennis, My long time scoutmaster had a list of mentors for merit badges, but no one for model railroading was on it. Our new scoutmaster is working with a lot of new kids to get their Tenderfoot badge. I could ask one of the scoutmasters from neighboring troops when we go to the next council sponsored event, if I get up the nerve. I'm rather shy, but my dad and former scoutmaster worked with me on that a lot. Living in a rural community makes it a bit difficult to make contacts and get transportation. Thank you for your suggestion!! I have a 4x8 layout with a nice F7 pulling a short freight train. I wish I had a hobby shop nearby. I order from a catalog when I have money to give my mum so she can write a check for me.
