[quote user="Autobus Prime"]Folks: Reading this thread, I wonder if it isn't the *diesel* fans who are hung up on nostalgia. Why do we invent limits that don't exist? Isn't it more than possible that somebody could not have known something at all growing up, but have become so fascinated with it through books and pictures as to want to see just what it was like? Think about it. Why do people see the steam era as something only old people who personally experienced it can be interested in, when all you need to do is look around and see all the Civil War reenactors, arrowhead collectors, WW1 airplane buffs, Egyptologists, and fans of classical music? [/quote]  Actually I am 29 and am actually quite fascinated by history in general especially World War 2 German military operations and The Old West. One of my friends is a big fan of Renaissance Faires and she's even younger than I am at 23. It's just with railroading my interests are in modern operations particularly Conrail in the 1990s.
