58, and have been a model railroader since my Dad, also a model railroader, got me a Marx O27 set when I was four or five. We lived in a NYC apartment when I was a kid and by the time I was eight years old (if I remember correctly) I 'graduated' to American Flyer, had a folding 4x8 foot layout, and took the trucks off the Marx stuff and put American Flyer S scale trucks and couplers on them. Two years later I got an HO Mantua switcher and a few cars ; the die was cast . Ever since then I've been kitbashing something in HO or (1/24) G scale.

Those early days in NYC were so special , for my Dad and I used to ride the subways all over Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan and even ventured into Jersey on the Hudson 'Tubes' (PATH trains). We also roamed around the train ferries (those are not silly little men wearing tight pants and engineer hats), and frequented all the neat hobby shops around NYC - A C Gilbert's (American Flyer), Lionel, Polk's, Madison Hardware, and other shops crammed to the walls and up to the ceilings with those alluting boxes full of trains. There was even a train store in one of the subway stations!

Those days were so influential on this once upon little kid, that I 'd never trade those wonderful memories spent with my Dad-a very special Father and the guy who hooked me on this great hobby.

I am 61.

Too old for many things....Luckily, most of them I don't remember...

Stll too young for the seniors' discount at the drugstore.

Major problem: I have apparently become allergic to beer. I used to have no problem with it, but now, after 17-18 beers, I usually throw up ! [xx(]

Never get old ! [:(]

55 and feeling it right now!

Today is our equivalent of a veterans day. There have been too many wars that I can remember, although not being involved directly right up to now.

I'll get over it!

I'm 26, started at age 7 or so with my dad, but haven't done it for at least the past 12 years. So glad I'm back in it (the wallet isn't though).
