Did you get teased as a kid for being a model railroader?

Some kids did tease me yes, but those kids were the ones that would tease anyone for anything. In elementary school, most boys had a trainset they would play with. Later into high school, there were a couple of us that had actual layouts and what not. One guy that graduated the year ahead of me had a decent sized layout and an enormous fleet. He had a lone brass locomotive (I think it was a Dash 9) he'd been given for his 18th birthday. <br /> <br />People at my high school tended to not care what people did in their spare time and, strangely for teenagers, actually considered the time and craftsmanship it took to make something by hand, be it a highly detailed model of the USS Constitution or a Lego castle. We were an odd bunch.
