How many of you are under age 40?

Under 25 here!

Ditto. 20 to be exact.

....only for 5 more days

I am 22, so I think that's under 40.

 

Anyway, I asked how many people were under 40 probably about a year ago, and I got a good three pages of responses!  There are young people still in the hobby

13.

17 here! 

20 here. A good friend of mine and a very talented modeler of the DT&I, Lucas Liska, is only a few years younger.

I've been holding at 39 for many years now.

I dispense my "wisdom of the ages" to all you young'uns from the other side.

While I don't qualify for this thread(way over 40), my son who is 8 runs the trains on his own without any help from me.  Just hope there's more out there like him.

 

So on his behalf

Thirty this Past week.

I'm 29...

I'm 39 for another 48 hours, then I start regressing in age, which means I'll be out at all hours of the night clubbin' (That's how it works, I'm sure of it)!

 

FWIW: Lately, I've been listening to a lot of 80s and 90s-era dance and pop songs. After hearing it, I actually DO feel 20 years younger!

The woman I am going out with is under 40. She obviously knows I like trains, as they are displayed at home and at the office. Too soon to say if there is a convert. 

I'm 23.  Just went to a great swap meet and show in Berea, Ohio today.  Lots and lots of people there today.  A fair number of excited kids and their parents.  I had Lionel and Marx as a kid, then there was a dry spell, and I've been paying my way and building my collection side about the time I turned eighteen.

40 what?

do you mean body or mind? 

i qualify only if I count backwards to 40.

17 for a few more months

Just turned 28...

I'm under.

Silver Lake, under what? Are you OK? Don

Under 40. That's the topic right?  Not that anyone should care. I do think that as a rule this forum skews younger and can't be used as a gauge on the hobby as a whole. Also those page counts shouldn't use the "I turned 40 twenty years ago" as part of the count if you are being truthful.
