And the next member is....
Hi everyone.
Another new member is aboard. My Name is Jens, born 1971 in Dortmund, what is quite in the middle of North Rhine Westfalia, Germany. I studied biology and am working in a zoo now. I live with my wife and our boxer "Erna".
My first contact with model railroading was at the age of 8 when my father supprised me the standard circel of the Märklin system as a christmas present. After several movings my railroad ended up in several boxes in several basements.... 40 years later my wife gave me a HO model kit, after I told her about my kids railroad and ZAP! the virus was back. I soon noticed that nowadays I won't get happy with a ready made railroad system, got some NGGazettes in my hands and thought "Some of those guys are really strange... building their own tracks, houses, trees..." - and that's me!!
My 0n30 freelance railroad layout is L-shaped with 13,7" by 6,5" with a depth of 1,96", situated in the coastal northwest of the north american continent. There is (or will be) a little harbour pier at the end of the line, a small engine shed with some vacilities, one or two suppliers and my first SierraWest kit - the Truck Repair. I really learned so much just by reading about Bretts techniques, your great builds and tutorials and I am glad to have joined your forum.
Glück auf,
Jens

It sounds like a great back story and you have now found a mission to make you happy.
ON30 is a great scale for modelling in that space you have and Brett's kits are the best you can buy/build.
