The #1 reason I waited so long was that every Model RRer I met was a geek. It just took me a while to come to terms with my inner geekiness (and to get married to an understanding wife and have 3 great kids that I can use to justify my motivation.) Face it gentlemen, teenage boys that spend more time with trains than pursuing women are wierd. 20 somethings that focus on modeling over career and marrage are doomed to a very limited life (a.k.a. loser). My guess is that many of them will end up creeping out newbies at the LHS. This is a hobbie for young kids and older, established men (I'm 37.) I hate to say it, but the hobbie will likely almost completely disappear after my generation. Kids just don't get train sets under the Christmas tree any more. Its a great way to spend time with our kids and grandkids. Lets enjoy it while its around and for what it is.
