Hi hoppercarmaker and Welcome to the Gauge!!!Hope you enjoy it here.
So what scale/era do you model, how big is your layout....
Welcome Aboard hoppercarmaker, as you can see, there are plenty of members here that will gladly answer any questions and provide support.. 
Hi to all and thanks for the big welcome.
HO scale.
I have a 10x10 bedroom with two levels twenty four inches wide.
The lower level is 85% stagging with a walthers 135 foot turntable.
I have no plan for the upper yet.
As for locos I have one BLI J1E and a PCM F3-AB set.
I just sold my Lionel challenger on Ebay because it would only pull two 40 foot boxcars up a 4% grade with 30 rad curves.
My BLI J1E will pull six without the traction tires.
I am open any to ideas for my upper level.
Thanks again for the warm welcome.
B-T-Y.........I work for A R I in the fab shop making parts for hopper and tank cars.
