Trains/Procrastination

[flyboy 28]

So I have a six-page history paper due in... eight hours. And what does that mean? Time to post some pictures! These were from a while ago, soon after I got my SLR. A model train club had an "expo" so to speak, so my dad, brother and I headed over to see what was going on. Pretty in-depth, though a bit of a strange hobby in my opinion. Then again, taking pictures of airplanes seems like an odd hobby to most.

Interesting timimg  :)    I've just started construction on the benchwork for MY model railroad  8-)

[pepper_airborne]

Cool! Would you mind putting up some pics of it? What brand are you driving?

Amazing James !! Hey! these are the hobbys for the rich & famous  ;D

[pepper_airborne]

More for the patient collector then the rich alrot . Offcourse, being lucky when running into that one missing piece is also part of it

Brand, as in maker of the models ?

[pepper_airborne]

Cool, yeah, like the manufacturer of the models and tracks. Although im unfamiliar with all of those. Im a Marklin 3-rail driver myself .

[Brett_Henderson]

Oh yeah.. sorry.. forgot to mention the scale    

Im doing HO scale and will use Peco code 83 track..

I've got a 30X15 foot room set aside and am going to do it all on a shelf-type layout around the room..  

I'll post my track plan in the Pilot's  Lounge..

Heh, hows the model? I thought about getting it, but I normally dont get the full train sets, I just blow my money on a more expensive engine . Any pics?
