Back in April when Argo Jones initiated the post "What is your age"the range was 4 to 67, with approx 17 teens responding. That was four months ago so those numbers are a little out of date.

Bunch of young whipper snappers around here[:D]. My son is 7 and I can honestly say that he is probably the biggest train fan I've ever seen. When he was around 4 he would run to the window every time a train was coming. I've had to replace the window glass in that window twice. Oh and he has a concrete head. Smashed the window but never phased him. That's a train fan!

I'm 13. If you ever need somebody your age to bounce ideas off of you can give me an e-mail at the icon below. I love getting e-mails about anything from kids my age. I'm a modeler in HO.

I was around when the Dead Sea just died, and have been into trains all my life, my son now 16 loves trains (when he is not on the puter), my other son now 5 plays with some cheap HO locos and cars several times a week, and my daughter 1 1/2 years old plays with some trains almost everyday and goes to sleep with a few occasionally. Yepper! These kids are being brought up right!
