"How Old Are You?" was a recent thread in the Atlas HO forum. I was actually surprised at how young the responded were as I equate HO as the "old farts" scale. By the way, I'm 55 but in N scale. N scaler's tend to be a younger crowd on "average." I equated the youth in the HO forum to computer use and the internet which skews responses to younger people (who feel more comfortable with a computer and the internet). There were a number in the HO forum in their 30's. To get a feel for the "youth" statistic, if you look at the number of posts in the HO and N scale forums at Atlas, usually there are more N scale posts than HO. When you consider that N scalers are any where from 15 to 20% of HO modellers, that's a lot more activity out of N scaler's than HO. Why? Well, I think it is because N scalers on younger on average and thus use the computer more.
