I joined this site with my parents permission back when Trainz UTC was on GameStop shelves. That's why my mother decided my username should be my fathers name, an entirely regrettable decision now, but back then it was the internet and it was new and unusual and it scared my parents to death.
At 24 I work a full time job in retail and in my personal time I am slowing attempting to develop a brand for use on YouTube to create Let's Plays, Reviews, and more. I don't play Trainz as much as I want too and I don't have time to build big elaborate layouts but I still appreciate a good run down a wonderfully detailed route.
They say the older you get the more you miss the past and with Trainz I do miss the day's where the community was tighter and nicer. I have full confidence in Auran and what they may provide someday but after a New Era I'm going to be more reserved.
