Just found this site a minutes ago actually and thought I'd join in.
I'm origonally from BC (Vancouver) and now live in Grande Prairie, AB. I'm fairly new to the model railroading hobby and haven't had the chance to build a layout yet. At the moment, I'm gathering info for a sectional layout in a 1920- 1930 era. My dream layout is the Royal Hudson from N. Van to Squamish, but my first layout will be more of a switching setup to practice on and learn some much needed skills. All I got room for is the sectional style.
Because I'm new, if anyone here has some advice for me i would really appreciate it.
The scale I'll be going with is HO and most of the sections will be around 5x3. I don't think I'll do anything in a round and round type of thing....more like a point to point. I like the switching idea. Was thinking of making the first couple of sections a freight yard. And it'll most likely be in the steam era. I've got diesels but they don't seem to have the same appeal.
Any ideas?
