Howdy everyone! If I may introduce myself, my name is James Little. I live South of Houston and am about to start my first serious HO layout. This forum looks to be full of great ideas and inspiration that will hopefully help me along the way.
I look forward to learning and seeing what y'all have to offer!

Welcome, James.
My little bit of wisdom:
There are usually between 6 and 100 ways to do anything in model railroading. Most modellers can get 2 of them to work.

James !
I think you will find just about any kind of help here that you need, and a choice of many ways to accomplish the building, and detailing, of your layout. Kits, Kit bashes, Scratch building, scenery, track laying, rolling stock, and information, information, information.
We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
