>train stuff slide

I suspect they were talking about real trains.

If you want to get into model railroading again, after 50 years, I wouldn’t recommend N scale. Yes, it’s tiny, but if you want stuff that isn’t junk, it’s not going to be any cheaper.

It’s also not very user friendly for old eyes and fingers. Yes, I have some.

I would recommend getting an Atlas or Kato starter set. Bachmann is junk, and I’m dubious about the other manufacturers.

Personally, while it would take up more space, I think that HO scale is much more user friendly, and often cheaper.

Aside from Amazon/eBay, my favorite online place for train stuff is https://www.modeltrainstuff.com/

Anyway, enough about all that. I’m sure that everyone else is tired of this diversion and would like to welcome Mr. Bags back to the company of the living. Yay!

Good luck, and I hope you enjoy your trains!
