I joined this forum yesterday, I'm located near Richmond, VA, I used to have a decent little HO layout back in the mid '80s and early '90s, but took it down when I moved 14 or so years ago. Just starting to think about getting back to putting it up. As well, I really like older real trains (steam) and go on steam excursions when I can, though I have not been on one in quite a while. I'm looking at adding a N&W J611 to my setup, have been checking out the Bachmann Spectrum HO version, any advice appreciated. I look forward to participating on this forum. Clyde
