I found this forum by accident and just joined. I've been messing with model railroads since I got my first "under the tree" Lionel set as a youngster. Which still comes out to entertain the grandkids at Christmas. Later on I built a 4x8 HO layout when my kids were younger While being locked in during the enforced stay at home time, I downloaded a copy of SCARM and started seeing what kind of railroad I could put into some space in the basement next to my work at home office. After lots of planning I came up with a design that I liked and that allowed me to reach all parts of it easily. I live on Cape Cod and decided I'd create my version of the Cape Cod Railroad, that I am calling the 'Mid Cape & Island RR', While I am taking lots of liberties with the design, I will be modeling some of the sites of the Cape, I've already scratch built the Scargo Tower and Kurt Vonnegut's old SAAB dealership building. One of the interesting things about the real Cape Cod Railroad is that they use second hand equipment from anywhere they can get it so I figure I can pretty much use whatever I've got stored in boxes.
