According to the calendar I'm 41. There are times I feel like 60 and other times (according to the wife) act like I'm 8. Either way - I'm having a great time (after all - what good is being around if you aren't enjoy it?)

If you ain't having fun, you're not doing it right and if you are having fun, don't let anyone tell you you're doing it wrong.

When you look at the vote tally and see that about 70 votes out of 200 come from the 51 and above crowd, we're holdin' our own against the young 'uns! [:D]

57 here and recently retired. This is my first train endeavor since I was 10. It was/is an American Flyer set I got for Christmas in 1957. Oddly enough, my wife bought for me an Ahtearn set last Christmas which was supposedly going to be an addition to our Christmas tree display. Of course it has taken on a life of it's own and it was the impetus to build (someday) a layout. I am to the point where I am ready to begin constructing the benchwork and I plan to post photos of the work as it progresses. So far I have enough track, buildings and figures to begin the final plans. This forum has been very helpful and I thank you all for your expertise and patience.

Cheers,
Karl

As old as my gums and a little older than my teeth.
I think that makes me 38.

52 old enough to appreciate life, young enough to enjoy it

BTW, the computer savvy argument may not be so relevant anymore. Read the other day that the fastest growing group of internet users is the over 60 crowd.

Age is an accident of birth, being young or old is a state of mind
