Hello Everyone,
My name is Mark.  I'm 61 and just joined the forum.  I just started back up with model railroading about 9 months ago after retiring a second time.  I decided to put up a ceiling/wall train setup and chose the the O Scale due to the size.  It started in my hobby room with the Harry Potter Hogwarts Express.  I then punched a couple of small holes in the wall and extended it out into the living room. Needless to say my wife and I are really looking forward to decorating for Christmas this year.  The grandkids went nuts when I showed them the setup. ;D

I have also extended the collection adding a Pennsylvania General train, Polar Express train, a Santa Fe Super Chief and of course a Lionel Christmas train.  I just joined the Lionel Collector's Club of America. I decided to join the forum to get some insights on the "doing it right" aspect.  Eventually I will be adding a garden railroad setup.
