Hi, All
I used to be in this hobbie as a kid, but now that I'm retired I would like to get back into it. I'm currently starting from scratch. I remember as a child the Erie and Erie Lackawanna Railroad, I saw the last few steam Locomotives sitting and rusting, plus I also saw the early diesel Locomotives as well as what was the newer ones at the time. This was the late nineteen sixties and I was like all boys or nearly all boys very interested in trains.
So it is my intent to recreate a freight layout, nothing related to an actual one, but something I can enjoy.
I'm liminted in space, so I'm going to build what is called a doorway layout for HO. I saved the files and printed out some from All Gauge web site, they have lots of layout plants there to pick and choose from, but I also downloaded and installed Run RTS 7.0 Freeware from Atlas, so one way or another I will put together a nice layout. Till now I did not know about doorway layouts, I think they'er really neat. I never knew that it was possible to build a 36" by 77" area layout, I thought I have to use a 4' by 8' sheet of cabinet grade plywwod.
I'll let you know how I make out
Thanks, Ron
