Hi friends, I have been lurking awhile and have gained a great deal of knowledge from your forum. I am about 2/3 done with liquidating my Lionel O gauge and during the research ran across the G scale RR. I instantly got my attention and have re-directed the profits of the O gauge to G scale. So far I know I am going R/C, and will construct the road to run live steam I would like to Thank Dave at Northwest Remote Control fo spending the phone time to answer several questions I have had to this point , more questions coming He is a valuable resource as I am sure there are many more here. Thanks to everyone. I have started a blog to display the progress and have posted the raw areas I have to work with and continue to post throughout the progression of the build. For those of you that are not familiar with a blog, scroll to the bottom and read up. Here is the site. http://drrail.blogspot.com/
