Welcome to the forum, Hondo, and welcome as well to any other recent members I may have missed.
Feel free to ask any questions you may have as you get your trains and (hopefully) layouts up and running. There is always someone here willing to provide assistance...pretty much on a 24/7/365 basis.
Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year!

You will like this forum. Nice people here. Lots of different perspectives. And a ton of knowledge and lessons learned. Including this: don't ever use Simple Green to clean track. (It's a long story).
Welcome!
Welcome Hondo!
Get your feet wet so to speak before getting into command control, if you desire to go that route.
If you plan to expand your layout, going with a heavy gauge wire may work best for the long term, you won't have to upgrade the wries.

Welcome. There are a lot of very helpful people here. I didn't know AC from DC when I started and many here were very understanding.
Welcome Hondo and Gary. A decade ago, I was new here too - and everyone was very helpful answering my start-up questions - especially about wiring!
WOW!!!!! What a warm welcome....can't wait to let everyone learn how little I know
Thanks again
Hondo
Hello!
Hi to all the new guys, just watch out for the Grinch in the middle of that wooden RR!
Welcome to all the new guys.
Hondo;
Welcome to the madhouse!

My email is in my profile.
ACE, you crack me up!
Yes - Welcome!....
Welcome to the OGR forum, Hondo! Merry Christmas to you too.
Hondo,
Welcome aboard, this is the place to find the answers to all you questions, it will make your trains more enjoyable. Have a great Christmas.
Welcome aboard!
Welcome aboard, Hondo and Gary. I'm a relative newbie too. You'll find lots of very helpful folks here. The knowledge that I've gained in a short time is invaluable and would have taken years to accumulate on my own.
Merry Christmas!
Ron
Hondo,
You will find some very talented and helpful folks here and you'll be able to get most, if not all questions answered. I probably would still have nothing but a loop or two of track on plywood were it not for the guidance I've gotten over the years for this forum.
Be wary of the "scrapple eaters". They usually surface around the same time as the York TCA meets and try and convince people of the merits of some awfully sounding meat concoction they call scrapple.

Glad to have you aboard. The train hobby has so many facets and directions. Always a joy to share all aspects of it.
WELCOME!
