Hello gang. I'm back since 2012. I sold my whole HO Scale layout in 2012 to everyone in this Forum. It only took 3 months total. I said I was never going to start a layout again. I had to eat my words in 2017 when I started another layout again & had to start from Scratch. It took about 3 yrs to get back up to buying everything I needed. I bought Bachmann EZ Track to start out from a Guy on FB. There was 89 pounds of Track & all kinds of Turnouts, Crosses & many track accessories. Then I started buying Junk Athearn Engines & rebuilding them. Then I started buying old freight cars & rebuilding those. For about 6 months I worked on engines & cars & rebuilding another RR Empire. This layout was 20ft wide & 36 ft. long. I was only going to buy 15 engines or less & now have 65 engines, 320 freight cars & 36 passenger cars. I also bought NS Flex, Brass Flex & a mess of #4 & #6 Turnouts in Brass & NS. Well, all that Know me I was living in Arcadia, Fl., but now I live in Covington,Ga. My wife died in Jan. of 22 & I moved up here w/my Sis in Oct. My disassembled Layout is still in Florida in storage & I'm trying to get a building put up to start a new layout. I hope the building is up & ready by May of "this" year. Been hard going to find a contractor. The building was supposed to be 20ft wide & 35 ft long, but I had the property surveyed & had to downsize it to 18ft wide & 20ft long. I'll make everything work.
