I was much younger then you! And YES I did get very strange looks sometimes. Now that I'm much older I understand why people would give me those looks. People sometimes get nervous when they see young kids around and/or running trains. Most of the time its because they think you will break something or run a train at insane speeds or break their engine. Once they see you a few times, It will go away. They will see that you are mature and you will earn their trust. Don't worry about it. Have fun with your trains! [:D]
