Hi everyone!
My name is Erik and I'm a new member to this forum. I'm a 46 yr. old Veterinarian from Delaware, Ohio and I'm just getting back into the hobby after some recent great purchases at estate sales. Some of my fondest childhood memories are of the large train set with model buildings that my Dad had in our basement growing up. After graduation, getting married and moving away my older brother took everything so I'm starting from scratch after a 20 yr layoff.
Thanks!
Erik

Welcome to the forums. You'll have lots of fun on here, I sure as heck do. There's a well bunch of guys on here.
I'm home schooled, I love to work on cars and anything with an engine and wheels, I love model RR'ing, and listening to Dire Straits.

Welcome to the forum, man.

Hi, Erik, I didn't know Delaware was in Ohio.... J/K. I must have missed that in Geography class ( or been asleep ). Anyway, we try to have a good time here, welcome aboard the Tyco Express, where we put fun first. Post your thoughts on what you like, want to get into as far as collecting and operating, and we'll pull you along with us and try to help you out some.
