Reply to "Kids and Model Railroading"

People talk about kids used to be into model trains, and that had to have been long before my day. I just turned 45 but I was the only kid around with a Lionel train set (O27 Rock Island Line set, I still have the locomotive around here somewhere) and the only kid I knew into model trains. I was into HO by the time I was about 13 or so, got out of that in my 20s, got into G, did nothing with that and sold it all off in 2007 and found On30 in my late 30s.

Careful, that rarely goes away. I have my On30 layout in progress, a collection of US WW2 stuff, a 1944 Willys Jeep in the garage. My family vacations were to museums and civil war battlefields. When I was your age, I had been civil war re-enacting for about 6 years and went to the massive Gettysburg re-enactment at your exact age.
