I'm arguably one of the youngest people on this forum (27 going on 28 in November), and I don't plan on having any children. Nonetheless, both online and in real life, I'm surrounded by dozens of friends (men, women, etc.) who share the same passion of trains as I do. Most of them are the same age as me, and most I've grown so close with I consider them family. They grew up with Thomas the Tank Engine in the 90's when he was at his peak, and I don't see that affection fading away from them even when most are avid gamers.
Regardless if they're your blood or not, I feel that there will be others around you that are just as much family and will carry on the magic of toy trains. I know when I have no more oxygen in my body that my trains will eventually end up in someone else's hands to continue the affection.
