                        Am retired the last 10 years. I only worked to support my hobbies...model railroading, aircraft building, and currently into ship modelling (plastic, don't have the time to bend planks). I find FSM a wonderful source of building ideas and shortcuts.

                        Welcome to the forums, abutt2!! Yeah, i'm pretty sure there are quite a number of us who work to support our hobby. What specifically do you model? Don't know much about Model railroads, but aircraft are always a favorite! How about posting a few pics of your builds so we can see!! Smile [:)]

                        Thanks for all the welcomes. Specially to Shrike. Got hooked on ships about six months ago. Have completed two Tamiya 350 battleships...the Yamato and the New Jersey. have two more of those in boxes. Then have done the Tamiya 1/72 Vosper and the Japanese Torpedo Boat, a really super kit. Next I want to tackle Revell's HMCS Snowberry (1000 parts in 1/72!). No pictures as yet. One of these days I'll oil the digi up and shoot some.Smile [:)]

                        Welcome to the forums

                        62 years of modeling , wow I feel like such a newborn in the hobby . My father who just passed was very much into model railroading and he left me all his locomotives ranging from brass engines to plastic , he collected from the early 1950's and I even have wood kits he built , sadly he never did get to build his layout and that was a life long dream of his , but in his honor I'm going to be building it for him , and any helpful tips would be very much accepted .

                        Welcome aboard Abutt2. Sounds like you are doing the same thing my dad is doing. Only he is big into model railroading. Soon I am hoping to have my son down here and when he does I am sure his grandfather will more than likely get him into the railroading side of the hobby. Again welcome!!!!
