Hi,
Just wanted to say hey. I am a hobby store owner(1.5yrs), always wanted to got chance when my company downsized adn left me w/o job. It is tuff biz w/ all of the internet companys discounting us to death, but I love it.
I am currently working on a 1/87(upto 1/125) scale diorama/HO layout w/ minimal trains and more themes, such as ship yard, militarty base, surrounding community and a downtown area containing a baseball field(minor league). Sounds very ambitious I am sure, but I am looking at it as I life long project.
My current search has me looking for any 1/87(I know there is very little) ships, can use up to 1/125 or so. Don't care old models, toys, whatever I will make it work. Also looking for a USS JFK CVA -67 for a customer of mine, any scale(1/350-1/700). Ok, I think I said enough:)
Take care All, Bill S.
