Hello- New here

[CamaroRich]

Just wanted to introduce myself.

I just recently got into scale model railroading.

Right now I'm concentrating on HO scale, and almost exclusively railroads between Massachusetts and Maine.

I have a mix of DC and DCC heading mostly to DCC.  I have an NCE Power Cab for my DCC and a MRC Tech II Model 2500 for my DC.

I haven't started a layout yet due to space limitations and the fact I have a lot of hobbies.

Glad to be here.

I hope I can learn a lot from you all.

Welcome, Rich. I think you will find this forum enjoyable. Like you, I don't have a completed layout at the moment, however, when the mood to run trains strikes, I make do with a folding table and a loop of track. Like you, I used to model in HO, but I've also dabbled in Z, N, and G. I now model in On30. The thing I like to do most is scratchbuild or kitbash models for the (hopefully soon-to-be operational) layout. Anyway, welcome aboard.

Be really careful that you don't put a DC locomotive onto the DCC track.

Been there...done that!

Thankfully I figured it out pretty quickly and got the loco off the track.  No damage.

Old Model Railroad joke:

Model railroader #1 - does your engine have a smoke unit?
Model Railroader #2, out of sight on the other side of the mountain - no.
