In August 2002 his Internet business (no longer in operation), Woodbridge Softworks, launched Woodbridge's Train Simulation Craftsman Magazine, a quarterly CD-based magazine that provided support for the growing train simulation community. The magazine was an immediate success with subscriptions worldwide. The magazine was in production until December 2003 when it was shut down due to Woodbridge Softworks being closed indefinitely. In 2003 Brian started creating the Sandy River and Rangeley Lakes railroad layout. His goal is to model the entire railroad in Trainz. Brian has been an avid model railroader since he was a child. He has created layouts in 027, S-gauge, HO, N, and Z. In August 2005 Brian joined the Editorial Board of Virtual Railroader, bringing with him his extensive publishing experience. He is a professional Technical Writer with nine years of experience working for various large corporations in Dallas TX, and a well known Software Company, which is located in the Seattle WA area. He also has over 12 years experience as a corporate trainer. Brian lives in the Pacific Northwest region of the USA at Bonney Lake, which is located near Seattle, Washington. ©2006 Brian Eckard.
