I'm 17, but I have absolutely no interest in video games whatsoever! There's more intelligent thing to spend my time on. I did once have a very, very old Nintendo that my uncle found and gave me. I was addicted for about a week and then lost interest. It sat in a box somewhere for a few years until I sold it to a friend of mine last year for $10. <br /> <br />I know this one kid who's in grade 5 now that loves trains. His parents are divorced and he lives with his mom, so I've helped him with a layout, doing repairs and even given him some trains. However, while he still loves trains very much, he's very much into video games and stuff like that and hasn't been doing a lot with his trains lately. I hope that he doesn't lose his interest as he gets older. Hopefully he may get more involved in the hobby once he's an adult.
