Thanks for letting me join. I am currently working on my third N-Scale layout, The Deer Creek & Susquehanna. All track and wiring is complete and some scenery is semi-completed. I love building craftsman kit structures and operating my layout with friends. You can check out my progress here: http://www.harm-web.org/dcsrr-n/

Actually, HARM stands for Harford Associates for Railroad Modeling. It is the informal group that I operate with.

@Spwoody1031,

Welcome to TRW!  While I now live in Hockessin, Delaware, my parents resided in Aberdeen when I was born.  My little brother now lives in Forest Hill, so I’m cruising up and down Route 1 every now and then.  Good to see another one for the Maryland team.

Hello all,
My name is Alberto and I live in Spain. I´ve always been interested in modelrailroading. My first train was a Marklin HO trainset which I got as a Xmas present when I was around 14. Year by year, that trainset grew up to become a fully decorated 4mts X 2mts temporary floor layout which I used to build every year at Xmas in my parent´s home although I didn´t live there since I got married. When my father died in 2005 I stopped building that layout and I abandoned HO scaling. By then, I had been married for six years and as I lived (and still live) in a very small apartment I took the decision of starting a new small layout (70cms X 90cms). I chose N scale to take advantage of the little space I had. I´ve always been interested in American trains so I decided to run American models on my new N scale layout. It´s neither easy nor cheap to buy American trains here in Spain but little by little I ´ve got a small collection of 15 locomotives, 23 freight cars and 6 passenger coaches.
On the other hand I´ve got some O scale stuff and three or four times a year I build a floor layout in the middle of the living room. You can see some videos of all these trains in my You Tube channel called Albersala.
I´m not sure whether I´ll be able to participate much in this forum because I feel I have more to learn than to teach but who knows...
Sorry for my poor English.
Thank you all.
Alberto

Welcome to the Railwire Alberto!
It doesn't matter how large your layout is and what scale you chose - the important thing is that you are having fun. This forum is generally N-scale-centric, but we also have some members modeling in other scales, and also narrow gauge. A little bit of everything.

Your English is very good.   In fact, it is much better than some native English speakers I see posting (on other forums).  :)

Not a new introduction, but a re-introduction!  I have been out of the hobby for about 6 years due to raising a young family and moving.  Finally am settled down, the kids are older, and am starting a new N-scale layout this summer.  I used to post here frequently, but just did not have time.  Look forward to being with everyone again!

Hello Miguel,
I live in Bilbao, a small city in the north near the French border. I was once in Tossa de Mar on holidays with my wife. It´s a beautiful small town by the Mediterranean Sea. I hope your brother does well with the bar. That´s an area with a lot of tourism and you can make a good living if you do it well.

Alberto,
 I was in San Sebastion and Logrono last summer. It is very beautiful there and the wine a food are to die for.  My wife and I loved our time in Spain and hope to visit again in the future.
