    Thought I would reach out to say HI and see what folks are modeling?

    Myself I am very slowly getting back into it...currently I am switching from
    HO to N Scale.

    Hello Shane! I'm slowly getting back in as well. Sticking with HO for
    now, but I've been toying with the idea of N.

    I'm also wrestling with a move from DC to DCC (and wired vs wireless). My small test layout is simple enough that DC is fine, however what I have
    planned will be very complicated to implement in DC. I'd be curious to
    hear others experiences in this area.

    Hi Tom!
    After a little hiatus it hit me for what I want to do in a layout (long
    trains) I could do more with the same space I have available currently for HO.

    Funny thing, I was not even thinking about trains for a good year and this simple revelation came to me one morning in the show of all places LOL!

    When I got back into the model rail scene about 6 years back I went in all
    DCC, the nice thing is it is universal between HO and N as far as control
    units go!

    Good to hear from you and yes I too would be curious to hear from others!

    Shane.

    Simple Correction...

    This should of read "in the SHOWER..." not "in the show".
