Hi everyone! I just thought I would stop in to introcude myself. My name is Matt and I love trains. I am a high school student, but I am currently constructing a garden railroad in my backyard. I am a regular member of the Garden Railways forum and My Large Scale, and I hope to be one here too! See you guys around and I look forward to talking with everyone!
Happy Railroading!
Welcome Matt. I was deep into model railroading when I was in high school too (yes there were high schools back then. I even remember when I got my first chariot driving license). There were several of us weird social outcast types that hung together. 
It’s a great hobby and one that can literally last a lifetime. Be sure and post photos if you have them as you progress. I’ve seen your posts on MLS, at least I think it’s you. You’ll find this forum a great supplement to the other forums you frequent I think.
What’s even more amazing is there were trains back then
Glad to see you here, Matt!
