Hi,
I'm Dave in Northern Illinois USA.
I have recently retired from software engineering at age 62, and will be creating my first permanent layout. I have three Athearn DC locomotives, enough rolling stock for one passenger + two freight trains (mostly Athearn), and a lot of of never-used (code 100) Atlas flex track in storage from the 1980's. All of this is HO.
I have a 14 x 30 foot room in mind. I had sort-of convinced myself that N scale would allow me to get so much more modeled in my space - but every time I browse at my LHS, I realize that my eyes might not be good enough for such fine work. I keep reading books and lurking here to help me decide on a scale and layout.
I look forward to making some new friends here.
Dave
