Welcome to the forum from the North Carolina mountains! I am one of the over 60 crowd  :( I made the move to 1/32nd several years ago and have very little 1/48th left in the closet! I am sure you will find all you need here!

 Thank You :) Which mountains of North Carolina are you near? I spent time camping near Asheville, then went to Pilot Mountain after a stop-over in Winston-Salem last Summer; my family were the original tinsmiths in Old Salem, and our house and tinsmith shop still exist there, though the shop is now a "guesthouse" for Salem College. It will take $500k to restore the shop...ouch!
