I do believe age is a factor in the preference to steam over diesel. In my teenage years steam was still king in my neck of the woods so I got to see those wonderful giants upclose. In a hub station, you could walk to the end of the platform and see that big beast just hissing and moaning and groaning and you knew you were looking at raw power. Maybe even see the fireman down at the wheels oiling something. You just knew that big animal was going to get you to where you wanted to go. Sorry, diesel just does not compare.
