I'm 36 and glad to hear from some others. I know very few people close to my age that are truly active in the hobby. It concerns me a great deal....will this wonderful model railroad age we live in (with unprecedented products and innovations) dwindle steadily over the next 30 years due to shrinking numbers of participants? I sure hope not. I'm an ambassador for World's Greatest Hobby because I so believe in their approach, but I don't have a lot of venue opportunities. I have put together a couple of open houses to share what I'm doing, but I would welcome some more opportunities. By the way, I am in HO and have been building a layout for six years. It is circa 1985, freelanced and BN in the Dakotas moving grain from small town elevators. I love what I'm doing, but tight finances certainly keeps the progress very slow. That' all right though....I'm patient and it's all worth it in the end. It also allows our kids to learn about working hard and long to get to a desired point, and not having everything whenever you want it.
