New to the forum and new to the hobby!

Hey y'all, 

My name is Calvin and I'm from Prince Edward Island Canada. As the title says I'm new here but also brand new to the hobby- so new in fact that I haven't even built a layout yet as I don't have room at the moment. But, I do have room to do some detailing and painting and what better way to learn than by just jumping in. I plan to model the CNR as it ran on PEI between the mid 50s to early 60s, this will allow me to have a mixture of CN olive and yellow + CN noodle livery running on my layout among other things. To start, I've picked up the CN #1 44 Tonner by Bachmann and on the way I have a pair of their GE 70 Tonners in black. The 70 Tonners will be my first crack at detailing and eventually painting.

Thanks for having me!

Thanks very much! I had subscribed to that just the other day, but hadn't yet gotten around to reading through it yet. This is actually great for my purposes, thanks for that!
