I have a nice little collection of Southern Pacific brass steam in HO, but sadly no layout :P

Post by: Dragon Tamer on January 05, 2015, 04:59:37 PM: I used to have an HO scale model train set but was forced to tear it down a couple of years ago. It wasn't really that large or elaborate but it did a fantastic job of amusing me.

I think that doing the electrical work on my layout may have been a contributing factor for my interest in electronics.
