So, how old are you, roughly?

Lawrence · January 08, 2011, 07:19:22 PM

Chris' post "I'm only 31 so there is plenty of time" got me thinking.

What kind of age range meander through this wonderful little forum, be honest now

I'll start it off, I am not 50 yet, but will be by the end of the year

p.s. next brilliant idea will be to have a forum members gallery, get those mugshots ready boys, and it will have to be of you, no substitutes

I'm 32, so comfortably within the second band... This year marks 25 years of me being into N Gauge; which means I was quite an early starter...

a mate of mine once asked me what year was I born in, I said 1956, do you know what he said, he said is that b.c.

I think Ollie is as well but I might be wrong.

I'm as old as my tongue, but not quite as old as my teeth.

tadpole · January 09, 2011, 09:30:09 AM

I appear to be the third, fourth or fifth oldest so far.

Does that mean I can be grumpy, forgetful and just generally "senior"?

How rude and intrusive this poll is!

I'm 28, and my dad gave me my first N Gauge layout when I was 11 (I think). I had a circle of used and battered track from Arnold, Peco, Farish.... The set of points I had derailed the rolling stock all the time - I can't even remember what make it was, but I think it was European. I had a Lima diesel shunter which took about 6 laps of pushing it to get it warmed up, and even then I had to have it on full blast to stop it jerking!

The track was blu-tacked to my desk in my bedroom.....with a few bloodstains on it from pushing all the fishplates on by hand.

Old enough to know better, but young enough to... gaaah. Not complete that sentence, it seems... (What's that they say about thinking ahead?)
My waist is smaller than my age. And that's all I'll say.

With a bit of luck I shall be 70 in March. Although my health means my N gauge modeling days are now are over and my layout Briford is being broken up. But I will still enjoy looking at your layouts. Brian.

Tank · January 09, 2011, 12:15:51 PM

Sorry to hear that Brian. Your layout is amazing. It's a shame you can't keep it, or at the very least sell it to someone. It is a big beast though!

Congratulations Brian. You have a 5 year head start on me and although I do my best with

it can be a struggle at times and like you health problems dont help matters.
