I'm 29.  Sorry, no pictures handy at the moment.

Recieved an HO set at age 3 and that turned into a 4'x8' layout in our basement.  I recieved an early Lionel Postwar set from a distant cousin at around age 7 or 8 and from then on O gauge was the focus.  Largest layout I had was an 8'x8' "L".  Trains went away during college (but never out of mind).  I moved out of state after college but kept buying and selling; my method was to buy Postwar lots, fix everything up, keep what I wanted and sell the rest.  Moved back home after a couple years and had a 4x8 in the basement again for about a year.  Due to space restrictions the trains went back in boxes, but I'd bring as much out as possible for Christmas.

I only run conventional as it's always been easy to work on; looking back, teaching myself to fix Postwar Lionels probably contributed to me going into engineering.

Currently my financial plan is to be house shopping next spring/summer (or should I say "train room shopping" with a house attached).  Pretty much all the trains just went into a storage unit for now to free up some space.

I've never lost interest and never stopped planning for the next layout!
