Amazingly, I see that my thoughts on what scale I would like to persue as I slowly got back into the hobby was a posting I made nearly two years ago. Since that post I have welcomed the arrival of a grandson into my life. He has a brother on the way due around Thanksgiving. I have come to accept the fact that in my current economic circumstance and work schedule I can get the most pleasure from the hobby by creating something for my grandson to enjoy and not necessarily starting the dream layout. I have put my desire to go in the direction of N scale on hold for now.

Being out of the hobby for roughly twenty five years, I'm contemplating what and where to start modeling. My former scale was HO. Looking at my rolling stock and motive power of 25 year vintage, I think I'm better off starting from scratch. This time around I am considering N scale for reasons of space.
