My best guess is that the strange look you are getting is envy. You youngsters have your entire life ahead of you. For the people my age most of lifes big decisions have already been made. Your life is a blank book, ours have most of the pages written. <br /> <br />We also know, from having been there, that in a few years your intrests in model railroading will wane, you will become to busy writing those pages into the book of your lives. After a few decades some of you no longer young people will take back up the hobby and the youngesters of 2030 will be wondering why you are looking at them that way. <br /> <br />Don't think that when I said envy I ment we wanted the chance to live our lives over again. I can only speak for myself but I have to say that I would not even change the mistakes I made getting here if it ment I ended up somewhere else. <br /> <br />I don't want to offend you but I have to admit that sometimes people my age are a little amused remembering all the mistakes, screwups and awkward situations that we survived and that people your age are about to walk into head first like a closed patio door. Get back to me in 2030 and let me know if it is't true. <br /> <br />Good luck. Enjoy the ride and as that great philosopher Red Green says "We are pulling for you cause we are all in this together" <br /> <br />
