    Hello everybody. I am a 16 year old who enjoys trains and model railroading. I have always enjoyed trains, ever since I was a little kid and I know that model railroading will always be a part of my life. I feel like I am one of the few people in my generation in the model railroading hobby. I hope that I will be able to get others in my generation interested to keep model railroading strong!

    Welcome to Trainboard. It is always good to get some new blood into the group. It helps keep us old codgers inspired. ;)

    Welcome aboard! Most of us are train nuts from birth, and the excitement of playing with and watching trains never really ends, so this is the best place to enjoy it!

    Hi Drew, welcome. You are not alone in your age group. I'm a member of the Mississippi Coast Model Railroad Museum and we have a number of young men and women who are members. They build exhibits, operate trains, and help run the place. If you are near by, we'd love to have you visit and join us.

    Welcome Drew. I hope you enjoy this forum. There is a lot of interesting and helpful content here. Some young people like sports. Some like modeling. Some like other things. Some like everything. You sound very focused. That is likely what it will take for you to succeed at whatever you do. :)

    Welcome aboard, Drew. Starting at your age as many of us old timers did, keep it up for your entire life. It's a wonderful hobby.

    Welcome! I was your age when N scale was in its infancy/toddlership (1968) and it has been a major part of my life ever since. I hope you enjoy it, if even half as much as I and many others have.
