<p>[quote user="54light15"]</p> <p></p> <p>For getting young people involved, go to England and see some of the heritage railways and do whatever it is that they do. There's no shortage of young people eager to learn. I was on a steam powered train at the Severn Valley and the driver was a Chinese girl (!) no more than 25 years old. The firemen were about 18. In one of the British railway magazines there was an article about one of the new board members of the National Railway Museum in York. How old was he? Eight! Haven't you ever noticed about kids that age is that they generally know what they're doing?</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div> <p>[/quote]</p> <p>Ya, its a shame no one recognizes that. Some museums push young people away because of their age. Let me tell you, it happened to me a long time ago. A real big turn off for getting involved with them.</p>
