<p>I know two kids that are into trains that I met normally, except neither of them are into trains as much as I am. One always gets sidetracked and starts showing me his bottle collection... The other one moved to Texas...<span class="smiley">[sigh]</span></p><p>Then I have two model railroading friends who I met through this forum...I would say both are into trains as much as I am, and one of them is a regular operator on my layout.</p><p>The rest of my friends don't really show all that much interest in my hobby, they just don't understand it. My family is extemely supportive, letting me use much of the basement, and driving me to train shows and such. My 12 year old brother occasionally helps me work on the layout, for some reason the thing he enjoys doing most is sifting dirt and applying it to the layout. He likes doing the scenery, but gets bored after the dirt... Go figure...</p><p>Then there's my 1 year old and 3 year old brothers. I built them a layout on a shelf underneath mine, with brass track. They like to drive the cars (matchbox variety) there and push around the trains by hand. Equipment consists of a Tyco GP20, a Tyco tank car, some sort of RDC thing, and a demotered Bachmann GP40. The 3 year old actually drives the trains and cars in a (relatively) realistic manner, while the 1 year old picks them up and walks around the layout area... I'm teaching them so they can operate with me on my layout someday...<span class="smiley">[:)]</span> </p>
