Well I have been interested in model railroading since I was about 10 years old. I attempted a 4x8 layout at that time but quickly learned that a layout was not in my pre-working age budget. I'm now out of college, found a (hobby friendly) wife and am looking forward to purchasing a house so that I will again have room for a small layout. I am also an avid airsoft player and intermittent military model builder.
