I am 33 and model a HO freelanded, and yet unnamed, midwest class I mainline. My era is the early 1940's which poses quite a challenge since I was never alive for any of it. I had been out of the hobby since I was in high school, and then college and small apartment, along with no money forced me to be an armchair modeler. I now have a job, a house with a basement, a wonderful and supporting wife and a two year old son. My boy absolutely loves to stand up on a chair and "watch daddy's trains". We are planning a move to a bigger basement (with a house over it) in the next year so I have modeled a 2' x 11' modular switching layout that will become part of my bigger layout in the future...once I get the basement finished, that is. It is good to hear there are all generation enjoying the hobby. I recently went to the Great American Train Show in St. Paul, MN and was surprised to see a lot of "30-somethings" shopping and just enjoying the trains.
