Greeting! Sully(nickname) here. Hope all are doing well. I am 67. Been exposed to model railroading since as a small child. My dad has had model railroad layouts since before I was born. I started wargaming early as I was fascinated by tanks and other armored vehicles. Got into the tabletop wargames in high school with the old paper hex maps and unit chits like the old Avalon Hills games.
Collected Roco Minitanks and the early 1/72 WWII kits. Spent 8+ years in the USAF. Did not play much then but got into SciFi wargames when I got out. Discovered Citadel and Games Workshop in the late 1980s and have gone from there.
Hi Dan, Welcome to the site! Thank you so much for taking the time to introduce yourself. My son has an HO scale setup that we've been working on over the years. It's truly a fun and rewarding hobby and the community is amazing. It sounds like WarTrains are a perfect blend of your interests! Thank you for your service in the USAF. My grandfather was also USAF, he transitioned from the Army Air Corps after WWII. My Great Uncle was also USAAC and flew B-24s. Much respect to you guys! Keep us posted on your train build, excited to see how you put them to use in your wargaming scenarios! Thanks again for stopping by, we appreciate your support! -Cassidy
