Greetings! Thanks for letting me be part of this community! I enjoy model railroading (1/87 scale models of railroad equipment) and building scale models, mostly of tanks, but also cars and trucks. Hope to learn and also to share what limited knowledge I posses.

Welcome to the Herd, Flyboy!
At HO scale, you can combine model railroading and scale modeling. When I was a kid, I had an HO scale layout on a 4x8 sheet of plywood, just a simple oval track. It occurred to me to lay out a little airstrip in the middle, and that's where I stationed some of my 1/72 airplanes (I didn't mind the difference in scales).
I look forward to seeing your work!
Best regards,
Brad

Thanks, Brad!
I do think of model railroading as scale modeling. In my case it happens to be 1/87 scale. I'll try and post something in the "Everything Else" forum. Might be a day or two, though.

Thank you! Working where I do, I'm pretty used to madness.
I remember something Mr. Tudball once said on The Carol Burnett Show: "This place is like a-workin' at a-Looney-Toons!" He was the boss.

Come on in! Limited knowledge is the kind we like! Pull up a chair. We're all sponges.
