I’m 13. Hey norboy, why don’t you just click edit poll and take out 0-5 and put in 40+?! Then everyone would stop complaining!

[soapbox]YEAH GO ON SHOVEL ALL US OLDER[oops] not as young as the rest [sigh] GUYS ON ONE BIG PILE ![soapbox]

[}:)] I am old enough to be expierenced, yet young enough to be dynamic [;)]

I never thought that reaching 40 put us in the ‘old’ category, lol. Man, has this world changed! Oh well, I thank God for each day He gives me just the same.[:D]

[xx(]Gee, I died twenty years ago!? Must momentarily live a second life…still modeling the same road!???[:)]

Andre

good one dave

I’m 58, and like Mark Twain, reports of my demise have been greatly exagerated. The last time I checked I was still warm, found a pulse, and am not nearly done having fun!

C’mon, guys/gals, you’re only as old as you feel and do! I’m 66 and going strong. Lot’s of railroadin’ to do before my last run. Gosh, I was doing freight oiling at night during my senior year of high school! Did a whole apprenticeship as a car knocker and found out there was no jobs! So I went to student firing which turned into hosteling before they deleted firemen on the SP. Used to run the big ALCo’s through the wash rack at Oakland. Yeah, we actually washed the passenger engines! After that petered out I figured folks always gotta eat, so I spent 30 years in the food plant engineering business…go figure. Retired now and loving it up here in Port Townsend, WA where I am active in 2 model railroad clubs, plus my own Great Northern.

[}:)][}:)][}:)][}:)][}:)]Hey Norboy, you really know how to step in it and come up smelling bad[:D][:D][:D]. Don’t worry, you’re not the first one nor will you be the last. Hope you don’t run into any of these older guys at a convention, you might actually have to listen to one of them[:-^][:-^][:-^][:D]BTW…58 and retired.[:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D]BTW…How old are you Norboy???com’n give[}:)][}:)][}:)][}:)][:)]

I’m 82 1/2 years old, started my model rr at 70, although I have always loved trains----and I am planning on enjoying them many more years! I just ordered another engine and my wife, Nance, helps me and is also my secretary as I have very limited eyesight. She also reads the posts to me. Keep on modeling! You young fellows have a long ways to go! Enjoy!!

This is so cool…to have someone to share your hobby with in your golden years. We should all be this fortunate. I wish you both many more years together.[8D]

Seeing this poll makes me feel old at 42. I know I can’t be old yet becase I have so much more to learn from my elders. Then I have to pass on what I have learned to my juniors. Isn’t that what we’re all supossed to do?

By the way, norboy still hasn’t answer the question, just how old are you?

Joe

Rub it in, rub it in[:D][:D]

Ya Norboy, give in now and we might let you off the hook but I doubt it[:D][:D][:D], how old are you[?][?][?]

HEY this poll is BS,

What? everybody over 36 doesnt exist?

I’M 40, Been doing this hobby in and out since i was 10, so there!

Hey Norboy, We’re still waiting…
Dave

Hey Norboy, what’s that silence for?…Did you just reach 37?

Andre

When I hit 60, I hope to be 40.
