Hi Bert. I do mostly scale. I've been drawn slowly into S over many years. I've been into HO most of my modeling life, into a stronger commitment to S in the last 2 or 3 years. I think we know each other already. I used to work part time at Johnny's in Latonia several years ago. When they had their last 4 or 5 train shows, I had a mostly flyer / hi rail layout set up. Since they shut it down, I've not done anything with the "Flyer" stuff, and worked exclusively in scale. Haven't got a layout going yet, but I've gotten enough rolling stock to populate one for a start. Still exploring my options for layout design, and the HO layout still has to be removed. Hopefully, next winter I can start putting down rails.
