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.

37. I don`t have any magnifying things, but trying to peer at n-scale equipment does
make you feel older. Roy.

Since many of us are new to the forum, I thought it would be interesting and fun to kick Aggro's topic back into gear. Also in your post, lets add: How long have you been an active MR? How old is your layout?

I will be 59 in 8 days. That's the norm. But, at age 50 everyone has a choice to continue counting in the forward direction or in the reverse.

I'm 41. [:D][:D]

I have been in MR 1 year and my layout construction began 10 months ago.

64, but if I flip it, 46. Hm. Been in HO scale since I was fourteen, working on my second garage layout. And yes, gang, I ACTUALLY RODE IN THE CAB OF A CAB-FORWARD! Noisier than heck, but man, did it smell GOOD!

I have a 58 year old body with an 18 year old brain in it. I checked with the factory and they said it must be a manufacturing defect. Now if I can just get them to put my wife's 58 year old brain into an 18 year old body, I'd [censored][censored][censored]

Just turned 63 and received a magnifying lamp which works great in addition to my opti-visor on my N scale stuff.

Boy, until this morning, I never realized how lucky I am because at 56, I can still paint beards on my HO scale figures, without glasses or magnifier lamps. Of course, I can't drive without my 3,000 diopter glasses for distance but who cares, model railroading is where I spend the majority of my time.
