Will be 67 on May 15th. Have been model railroading since 1949. Good to see the large number of young people who are involved. Hope they all stay at it for as long as me.

Still too old for Britany Spears, and still too young for Rachel Welch!


Hmm but if I add up the two Olsen Twins, 18 + 18 = Hmmmm????? Not too far off?

   Have fun with your trains

Looks like the younger generation is the majority,

From 4 to 65 with 15 teens plus a few that would still like to be a teen.

It's a good showing, don't you think ANDY?

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!"

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.
