Hello, my name is Wolfgang Benz and I live with my wife Ingrid in sunny South Florida. I have been "infected" with the "Train Virus" since I was very little. My mother told me, that even as a baby, I got excited when I saw a train...

I got my first model train when I was 3 years old and I built my first layout when I was 14. Currently I am working on my fifth layout, the one that I am showing here. By Profession I work with computers and information technology, so the train-hobby is a nice distraction.

Besides the trains, I like travel and photography. Especially when I can visit a train during my trips.... :-)
