I'm 30. Been model rail roading since I was 13. Dad and I discovered the hobby together.

Still to this day, he comes over and plays with the layout. There truly is NO better hobby.

Be well all,

28..... HO. Got my first set when I was 7. Had a 4x8 between 10-14. Gave it away to my neighbor who was dying of cancer when I turned 14 and started playing football..etc. Just started back up this march and I'm currently in applicant status for a large HO club. Started to build a 2x12 switching layout but gave it up so I could learn techniques at the club. Now I'm just hunting down old Blue Boxes on Ebay and putting them together.
