Howdy, my name is Paige Watson.
I am a Web and Windows applications developer in a suburb of Seattle, WA. USA. I run a website of projects and ideas for N Scale Modeling called N Track Mind, although it's off to a slow start. I have two sons, the eight year old loves trains, the 8 month old just wants to put them in his mouth.

[edit] Modeling & DCC stuff

---

I have been modeling for about 8 years now, all N Scale 98% of the time with a Digitrax system. I am on my third major layout:

1. 4x8 plywood
   1. DC power, two engines, one industry and a tunnel
   2. once finished, it became immediately boring.
2. 14 x 24 Garage layout
   1. DCC power, 3 yards, 14 industries in 3 major cities
   2. Didn't really have a good track plan and it became a spaghetti bowl in some parts.
   3. never finished, it came down when the marriage fell apart.
3. Current Layout - oNeTrak modules
   1. DCC powered
      1. I want to have computer control and signaling for each module.
      2. I am looking into building a program to allow computer-based modular layout control
         1. Wont be done (or even started) anytime soon.
   2. Track plan is planned one module at a time.
   3. one module finished, 10 frames to go...
