Hmm, this is kind of weird.....I never really thought about it, but I always assumed that model railroading was more of a thing done by younger people.... Now that I think about it, I suppose it's done just as much (if not more) by older people. I always had a G scale train (mostly LGB) that I would set up when I was in elementary school, have the friends over and they would bring over their playmobile (anyone remember that stuff??) and we would set up a big city and just play with it all weekend, then tear it down and start again the next weekend at someone else's place. I must say the nice thing about having a full time job AND model railroading is I get to play with my own money (I model in N now - G scale stuff is out in the shed). No more begging mom and dad to take me to the hobby shop on the weekend, and then when we get there begging even more for a new box car or caboose (I only ever had two small loco's they were just to expensive, so I never bothered asking). I suppose it also works against me, playing with my own money, because whenever I walk into the hobby store the owner always gets a big smile on his face.
