IMHO, its the geek factor. I'm 41 and enjoy golf, hunting fishing, NASCAR, football, hockey, etc with the guys. But mention model railroading and the first response is, "You play with trains? aren't you a little for that?" I received a train set for Christmas when I was 10 and have loved the hobby ever since. I had to go into the closet for 30 years before I returned to the hobby. Now my layout is bigger than ever and well detailed. I have spent a ton of money on layout construction, rolling stock, buildings, engines, etc. When I show it to one of my friends, they still think of it as playing with trains, they have no idea of the time or cost put into my mini-empire. Enjoy it for what it is to you, share it if you can, but be prepared to be labeled as a geek. I'm proud to be a part of the geek, I mean railraoding community.
