Any model train enthusiasts out there? What scale do you like?

I love trains! I am almost 50 and I got my first one a month ago – shocked my husband that I liked them! I have the "Polar Express." We also have some LGB, O scale, a couple of HO and a Z scale (Disneyland). My "Hogwarts Express" should be here in a couple of weeks.

Just curious if there are any other train nuts out there!
We went to a train show in Fullerton CA on Sunday. The layouts were amazing! The had a refurbished Disneyland engine that was beautiful.

When all the kids have moved out, hopefully soon, 1/3 of our garage will be all trains!

  1. I started in HO scale when I was about 12… sadly my Dad sold the layout when I was in the Navy.

    I am now 43, and in the midst of building an N-scale layout in my 10 x 12 ft bedroom !! I had to go with N-scale because I simply didn’t have room for the HO radius turns I would need. I’ve been working on it for the last year and have learned one very important thing… plan, Plan, and PLAN some more !!

    My layout is a dual-mainline loop around the walls depicting parts of the CALTRAIN and ACE passenger routes here in Northern California… I have also included 4 spurs for local industries and a large yard representing Stockton-yard.

    Interesting… I got started in RRing again after doing a "Hogwarts Express" layout for a friends Candy & Gift Shop during Xmas of 2005 !!

    Good luck !! There are a number of pretty good Yahoo! Groups on the Model Train topic !!
