Born in Lewiston, Maine I'm a swimmer, railfan, model railroader, AFJROTC cadet and railroad volinteer. I've been in the hobby for 13 of my 15 years, I have my own layout, its a 3 1/2 by 5 foot flat top table, that folds in half for transport and I have used it in a couple of school projects. From those projects I've gotten reactions from my class mates ranging from surprise, disbelief, and a couple of as to be expected from him" looks.
