Model Railroading

I’d love to get started in it. But I don’t have the space.

And this

Is gonna get a lot of adult, grown up responses.

Darth has a blown up section of tracks and a burnt out train that his model planes strafed.

My neighbor does this. He’s a 60+ yr old phone company retiree. He has a massive setup that takes up about a quarter of his upstairs. He also buys and sells stuff online and does well at it.

I built my kid a 4x8 HO layout 4-5 years ago. I need to do more with it. I want to integrate Arduino functionally/animations into the it.

Chad, please save some pussy for the rest of us.

My mind went in the wrong direction.

My Dad belongs to Baton Rouge club that has a huge setup in Jackson, La. They have from N all the way to G scale. They have a really nice HO setup. Theu are open to the public every 2nd and 4th Sat of the month, I believe. May want to check it out.

I started looking into it on Youtube, fell into a rabbit hole, and suddenly I get layout tour videos in my recommendations all the time. The model layouts on THIS CHANNEL are seriously insane - people and clubs putting in years of work on this stuff.

My 6 yr old son has recently gotten into RC Crawlers. Much better than traditional RC cars since they go much slower, reducing the chances of him destroying it. He and I have had a great time in recent months designing and building challenges for him to take his crawler on. We've employed many of the same materials and techniques that model railroaders use to create there designs. IMHO the crawlers are just more fun though since they're not limited to a track.

Don't need to. Have a real railroad, crossing and trains just down the street from my house.
