NWR-Gordon-4 Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 I'm not in the 56 - 80 catagory and what do you mean that our average age is 12, WTD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCDR Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 True enough WTD !! According to SWMBO I am still at 9 ! 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWR-Gordon-4 Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Who is SWMBO, LC&DR and I don't believe you are 9. I don't think there is anybody on this forum, who are younger than me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkingthedog Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Jacob it's a joke. We are all little boys playing trains. She Who Must Be Obeyed = SWMBO = wife or partner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWR-Gordon-4 Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 I guess are little boys, who play with trains, but generally, the hooby to to delicate for baby children! She Who Must Be Obeyed = SWMBO = wife or partner. I like that. That is funny, however, I don't have a wife or partner, but it is still funny! 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augustus Caesar Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 LVIII.IOne of young pups on here it seems... plenty time to play trains and catch up to everyone else who have many years ahead of myself after I took a 30 year break! How sad is that?Now, don't go getting out the violins or anything... :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWR-Gordon-4 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 @walkingthedog Thank you. You won't stop me playing with Thomas trains! I just bought my new Hornby Henry yesterday, from Hatton's. Very pleased with him. @AugustusCaesar I already got the violin out, before asked nobody to get one out! 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colonel Leon Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Look, I won't say my age but I will tell you that I am younger than Jacob Wilson. I am the only one in my grade that's interested in trains and my friends think I'm mad... "What's so interesting about trains anyway??" That sentence rings in my head for a substantial amount of time. In class, we say a sentence we made out loud. My sentence is always about trains (Real or made up). It's a shame that there isn't many young people here but I'm glad that all you old people can use a computer and forum because I know plenty of people you age who won't touch any forms of technology. Good on you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyneside emu Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 It would appear to me so far with this topic, is that, basically, this hobby ia a retirement home whereby a lot of us will be on our permanent holidays over the next 5-10years, and it's a strong possibilty that this hobby will become really niche.I'm not too sure how this issue can be resolved as there aren't in reality a lot of different types of engines / trains being designed or around minus the heritage stuff.It's a bit like cars they are now becoming all much of a muchness.

Good on you.Nice message, Colonel. Very pleased you stand up for your own hobby in the face of foolish young schoolmates who ridicule it.I am also pleased you support the "old people" who can use a computer. 😆 I frequently used to try to "convert" several old non-PC friends and glad to say I succeeded in most cases. The computer is such a boon and as (probably) the oldest "old people" on this Forum I would be lost without it now. Best wishes. Jimbo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkingthedog Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 All my friends are 'old' and all of them use computers and ipads without any problem at all. What they don't do is wander about staring at their phones 😆 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
