No, none of my relatives/family would have time or want to. There's not a hobby shop for miles and the one that's an hour away has half an aisle of miniatures, horrible stuff too. Oh! Hold on, lemme look in the Yellow Pages real quick. Nope, I looked under Hobby, Miniatures, and Trains. There...

I found a cool hobby shop and I'm not quite if the prices are okay or not. I don't what anything costs so I can't tell if they priced fair or not. If someone could check it out, that'd be nice. Also, just made an account on Atlas Store and making list and checking it twice. What would be a good...

I'm using HO scale. BTW, I found a perfect spot for the train stuff. Above the garage. There's a huge space that no one uses. There's a few boxes up there but that's all. We just need to get me a little table, a few extra lightbulbs, and some paint, brushes and other stuff that I'll need.

Well, I don't have anything related to trains in my house but I may be getting something for Christmas. I'll tell you, instead about the junk piles in my locker. In one stack, there all my binders and text books lined up nice 'n' neat. Then on the shelf below that are the papers that I can't...

Wow, this is great for such a small sized layout. Any four year old I know would have trashed the thing. ::coughmycousincough:: :D I wish I could have that kind of support. My dad keeps on saying how I shouldn't start it because I'll spend every penny I earn on it. I mean, I'll save a few...

Alright, Christmas is almost upon us and I'm setting my wishlist. What I need to know is, what would be the best time period to start with? Which is the most available and the cheapest to get quality sets/cars/stuff for? What would be a good starter set for that era? And should I stick with one...

Sounds cool... My dad said he would talk to my mom about it.

There are no clubs in South Carolina. There's one in Rock Hill but that is too far for me to go. My dad said that as long as I pay for it and that it's okay with mom, he'll let me have a corner of the garage and get started. Tommorow, I'm going to start saving up. I have a few of my Gameboy...

...and then go blow it all on trains!!! I'm going to start saving up now.

This year, the only thing I want for Christmas is money. (my two front teeth!) That way I can save up for about two months. Then I can go and buy train stuff to get started on it. G'Day for a moment, homework time, ~Midnight

Um, no. I'm twelve and not married. My dad is pretty much set on not getting me one because it costs so much. If I could get him interested, ::coughimpossiblecough:: never mind. He's got an every day job as a trucker. He works until about 6'o clock almost everyday. Even on saturday, he's working...

If you were to build a complete medium sized layout, how much would it cost? This is in HO.

That's not what I meant, sorry for not being clear. I meant like real driving cars. As in vroom, vroom!

Does anyone know if it's possible to have cars running on indentions in the road or something?

Okay, here's a form I made up off the top of my head just now. Era: Steam-Diesel Transition Layout: In one corner of the garage, I'll have a mountain range going up the walls with tracks and tunnels on them. Then, coming down you'll enter a large city. It will be mostly cars and stuff, not...

Hmm... ear. LOL, I mean era, I'll probably do either modern or super old trains. Then I could have indians that rob trains, like, hanging off the side of a car or something. BTW, do they have, like, futuristic train sets? G'night, going to bed, ~Midnight

Ah, yes! My grandmother had a train thing that went around in circles. It was huge, though!

Okay... kitbashing is like taking two kits and bashin'em together until they look like something. :D So, a Proto whatchamacallit is just the car at the front that pulls them along?

Sorry for my ignorance, but what is a Proto 2000 S1 switcher locomotive? Is that one car? If so, that is way too much for me! BTW, what scratching and kitbashing?

I might do something like have mountains going up the walls with tracks and tunnels on the mountains and then having something going down the mountains into a town or something like that. I'll probably do all my ordering on the internet seeing as I live in the middle of nowhere. The only thing...
