I was about 3 or 4 when I was first exposed to model trains at the Puyallup fair in WA state. The layout was O guage I was captivated by the models of the cascade green BN engines that looked just like the BN engines that saw on my way there. I made a personal goal - one day I would become a model railroader. When I was about 5, my dad only encouraged me more by randomly buying a copy of MR magazine at a grocery store, i couldnt put it down as I stared at the pictures. I finally recieved an HO train set for Christmas when i was 8. Im 19 now, and in college. I dont have as much time for modeling, but i have a couple short trains on display on my desk to show off my modeling skills. Model railroading has been a great hobby and I hope I can stay involved in it for the rest of my life. <br /> <br />Josh Ziegler <br />Spokane, WA
