Hi, Garfield
Welcome to the group. I also fit your category of being in and out of it for
about 25 years. Since I've retired this past January, I've started taking a
more active interest in the hobby. I haven't a layout, yet, as I'm taking my
time to think about what I really want to get out of it. I know myself well
enough to know that building is, to me, more fun than actually running the
trains, so I'll certainly have a continuous loop somewhere in the plan. I'll
probably put enough staging, etc. into it to give operation a try. An
interurban line used to pass directly in front of our house (of course, the
house wasn't there at the time) so I've gotten interested in modeling that
line with a twist - it survived into the fifties and gave trackage rights to
some of the railroads. That way, I can also have steam and early diesels.

Hi group: I'm another new member who's been in and out of model
railroading for 25 years or so. Currently trying to put together an
HO-HOn3 layout for a 3-0 by 12-0 space that will give me some
continuous running and western scenery. Having all kinds of trouble
and maybe I'm trying to get more than I can handle(old old problem,
isn't it). Anyway I'll probably lurk for a while and try and pick up
some ideas and see what's gone previously before jumping in. But
looking forward to being part of the group. Thanks. Garfield.
