I'm 26, soon to be 27, and have been actually modeling since I was 5. My dad modeled in HO scale already by the time I was born. He had a layout that was built in my room so it was just always there. He bought me my first engine when I was 5. It was an atlas GP38 in UP livery. I've modeled UP ever since. In fact, I still have that engine and it's in good working order. He is big into Northern Pacific, SP&S, Great Northern, and Milwaukee Road. Basically, all the RRs he saw as a kid. He does the transition era from steam to diesel where I do mostly the modern ear, late 80's to early 90's. I like SD40-2s and GE dash 8s where he is more into F units and Northerns. The layout I built with him while I was still at home was 16ft by 8ft and was a lot of fun. I left that behind with him of course when I went to college. I have only recently started building my own layout as I had 8 yrs of college to finish first. I've been lucky enough to have girlfriends that have always been supportive of my hobbies as well, so that has never been an issue. I hope to have a family in the coming years and fully plan on sharing my hobby with the next generation. :) Warren
