Hi, I'm up here from Canada, and I'm 39. I've been casually collecting for years, and am now seriously planning a layout. My father had a simple layout on a 4 x8 and I guess that got my interest, but with my two young children's ( 5 and 3) natural interest in the big trains, it has renewed mine. I've been buying quite a bit of things lately with the layout construction approx. 2 years away, I have so many things to learn and do in the meantime. I constantly read Model Railroader and Craftsman magazine, as I find you can always learn and there are so many different ways to the end result!! Weathering and detailing the rolling stock and locomotives takes much of the time. I'm also working a bit on some buildings. The layout plan is for an area of about 25' x 8' so I have a good space to work in. Two years seams like a long way away, but I can see the amount of work ahead, just preparing for it. <br />Cheers all. <br />The hobby is alive and well.
