I have that to look forward to in about 2 years. hopefully i can get a single room or an apartment and build something. otherwise i'll just come home on weekends and run them. and i can always read books and magazines and go to the hobby store. stuff like that. put together a ton of kits hopefully.

Hate to break it to you son, BUT!!!!

If your in college and your doing it right there will be little time for fun and games. Believe me leave the fun stuff at home, Dig in and work hard! It's for three to four years, but it will determine what you will be doing for the rest of your life. Yes leave some time for fun and frolick but don't get off track and distracted. When I did the college thing we started with 135 and the first night they sat us down and said " See the guy next to you and the other guy on the other side? They won't be there in three years time. They were right, only 53 of us graduated.

Welcome aboard Roy, Your just a kid yet . ..............ALL ABOARD!

I am 35 years old.

This weekend I had a meeting with a couple of modelers I had never met before to start a traction module club. I was the youngest person there, the other fellows were around 45, 55 and 65. Two others who couldn't make it but wanted to were 25. I'm sure that if we stay around we'll get at least one 15 year old and probably a 75 year old or two.

It's fairly neat how this hobby allows people born in different halves of the last century to hang out and have a good time together...how many other pastimes can say that?

[liquidcross]

I'm 25. Whew! I thought I was the youngest one around here!

[orsonroy]

I'm 33 and one of the youngest modelers I know in my area. My N trak club (I'm HO at home) currently has six members, and we're locally known as the "punk kids". We're 33, 32, 26, 25, 13 and 12.

51. I still have my original Lionel steam locomotive from my 5th Christmas.

Roger, I don't get up on HF much these days, mainly because my antennas are still with my ex-wife. At the present, I have only my mobile HF Outbacker. I rent, so can't run any dipoles or end-fed wires in the attic or around the eaves of the house. Maybe I'll catch you on HF sometime. When I roam the bands, I'm usually on 17 meters, but occasionally go up to 15 or down to 20.

Almost 15.

When you are a young kid someone asks you how old you are and you say
"4 and a half!"

Then you mature and its just "almost fifteen".

You mature further and its "I'm in my forties"

Then when you get to be 100 its like bein a kid..."I'm 100 and a half!"

old enough to know better...44
