Hello again my friends. It has been eleven years since I sold my collection in order to buy an rc aircraft I wanted to build. I love rc aviation but always missed my Ho trains.There were a few engines that I wished I had not sold but things being what they were, well, anyway. Now that I have started to rebuild a modest collection and will soon embark on a layout I realize that I have forgotten a lot of the finer technical details. Thank you all for being patient with my questions while I try to re-familiarize myself with HO scale trains. I count you all as friends and know where to come for any valuable suggestions and help. Highest regards, Donald.

Riggzie, Thanks for the welcome! In a lot of ways being into rc aviation has helped me a lot with HO. Specifically I am used to working on small items and better attention to detail.

Welcome back to the hobby. I took a 40 year hiatus myself.

Hmmmnnn. Welcome back! As a longtime RC pilot myself, I find the trains massively relaxing compared to most of my RC adventures. But great to have another pilot on here..

Welcome back for sure..

Thank you Stumpy! Hope to see more of you on this forum.
MatroxD, Glad to hear from you! Whether RC or HO there is just something gratifying about working on a project and having it work out the way you planned. I have a small workshop where I do my paintings (I am also an artist) and where all of my planes are hung from the ceiling. There will be a layout there but because of limited space it will have to be one that hugs the wall. I will post a plan view of the way I envision it soon.
