Model Railroading

Good call on the new topic.

Like I said, I'm not real big into it, it's my dad's retirement project/hobby. It gives him something to do.

He's running n scale. Just converted to dcc about a year ago. He loves it. He retrofitted the majority of his cars over to the magnetic couplers.

Layout would be what you describe as freelance, it's kind of based on about a billion railroads he's studied over his life (this is about the 10th time he's built it) along with sections created in his mind. He's dedicated an entire room to it, about 18x12. There's 3 tiers to it covering 3 of the 4 walls.

He's put a lot of work into it over the last few years. Don't know if he'll ever actually finish it.

He orders from both Athearn and Walthers as well as a couple others. It seems damn near impossible to get good n scale out here on the wet coast so he orders out of the U.S. gets it shipped to a friend just south of the border and goes and picks it up, saves the brokerage just has to pay the duties but he'll take mom and go for a 3 day jaunt.
No name, Cheap and Slutty.
