Hello my name is Daniel Braun, and since I am new to this form I probably should introduce myself. So I am 17 years old, and I live in aurora Ill. and I have layout that is a work in progress at the moment, it is going a little slow right now but I am currently trying to continue working on it again. Also when I get the chance I go to The Great Midwest Train Show. I also heard that there are a few members that go to this show as well.

Welcome aboard Daniel! Very knowledgeable folks here.
Post some pics of your layout if you get a chance!
Never been to that show, since im over next door in Indiana hopefully I can check it out sometime.
Welcome to the forum.
Hey Daniel. The hobby does get neglected by us all at times it seems. But few stay away forever. And many never really finish with the layout, it just continually evolves.
I just uncovered, and resumed "evolution #3" on layout #2 "The hills"- A flat run, but elevated once out of the hills. A village supported mining and logging road serving the city in the valley. my home.
Layout#1=high shelf around a bedroom ceiling represents long distance city to city, and coal trains on steep grades for me
#3 is just an 0-27 circle on a 30"x30" table with a green fleece over it, a globe in the middle, and a cartoonish 1950s retro style rocket ship traveling on rails spewing smoke out the rear towards the Marvin the Martian and Bugs Bunny rocket launcher following behind it. (or sans-globe, and instead, a little Christmas tree with a General or Scout circling)
The point is its about fun, and this hobby doesn't really have to be about anything but what you make it to be.
Welcome aboard, enjoy the ride!

Yes there are a group of us that head to DuPage, day begins with breakfast at the Verdict nearby.

Thanks for welcoming me to the form I will try and put up some pics of the layout when I get the chance, although it is currently a mess at the present moment.
Welcome Daniel.
Welcome, Daniel. I'm fairly new as well; the folks on this forum are top notch. Because of the encouragement of said folks, I attended my first DuPage show in October...and I'm glad I did; great group of local guys. I hope to meet you one day.
