This is a great post! It reaffirms a notion I've held for a long time that model railroading (or any other creative outlet) keeps you young. Whenever I encounter people at train shows, the hobby shop, online, or whever, they may be 8 or they may be 98, but they can talk trains! They might not agree on different scales, prototypes, brands, eras, etc... but the common thread is ENTHUSIASM! A creative outlet like model railroading occupies a signifigant portion of our brains. It keeps our juices flowing, & our wheels spinning, so to speak. It saddens me to think that some people go through life without having such a gift of inspiration. I know that whenever I walk into my local hobby shop, & hear that little bell over the door ring, I'm 8 years old all over again!
