Here is an interactive graph showing the ages of those who took the survey. You can press on the bars for a very quick summary of the math. 

I am working on the rest of the graphs I will post those soon. 

(These graphs will update each time someone new takes the survey!) 

Please tell me if you have any issues viewing the graph.  I will always help you out. 

If you are on a mobile device and are having a hard time reading the whole thing because it cuts off in the middle click this link: Link to Graph

I will need this explained to me.  I'm unsure of how to read your graph.  You have ten bars, each with a count of those surveyed.  But what does each bar represent ?

These are for the ages of took the survey. For example, there were 4 people between the ages of 15 and 21 years who took the survey.  

Hope that clears it up. 

So it was straight forward then.  I was making it more complicated than it was.  Like some people I have worked with in my life. " It's not the work that's hard, it's the people that make it hard.".....Al Fakete

You should add DCS EXPLORER to the survey, because I don't use full DCS. I also use DCS REMOTE COMMANDER. Neither of these use a TIU.

I like the poll the way Rich showed us on page 5, more information faster.

67, and DCS.  (Was conventional until last month).

Over 60

Self (as in self-control)

63, will be 64 in a week and a half; Conventional.

DCS (with Legacy controlled through DCS)

Conventional for use with the few engines I have that do not use either of the above systems.

 I also have DCS WiFi but it’s still in the box.

61 - and on your hands and knees!!!!  Say it ain't so, Joe!!!!  

How can you do it??  I'm 61 and arthritis has made my knees too sore for on the knees!!  

Joe, I'm glad you can still get down on your hands and knees!!!!  I don't know what I will do if we ever have grandchildren!!  

Mark! Hands and knees are for when DCS and TMCC aren't working and I throw the remotes across the room in disgust! 

I've avoided the arthritis thus far, but not the fat. I can get down, but getting up requires a back-hoe. 

I will be 64 in September. I use DSC powered by Yuengling!!  

Holy cow!  I am discriminated against.  I'm 81 so off the graph.

66, conventional.  I know all the new electronics are pretty neat, but I don't want to have to trouble shoot when they don't work. Long past that.  Also more money than I want to spend.

Conventional, not even close to changing with 20 plus engines.  Keep it simple and who can keep up with 27 Marx switches?

75 yrs at last count.  And I get to be post number 400!

34, and I use multiple different control forms, depending on the state of my locomotives. At the moment, my O scale is DC, and my HO is a mix of DC and DCC - I don't like my locomotives sitting unused in a box whilst I get them prepared for DCC fitting.
