Being aged 90, I suspect I may be the oldest on the forum, I started N gauge when I retired from the RAF at age 40, so that's 50 years modelling N, my NGS number is 4 figures starting with a 2.
 My first railway model however was a Hornby 0 gauge clockwork 0-4-0T for Christmas when I was about 4 or 5, followed a year later by a 3 rail Electric Hornby Flying Scotsman - not exactly true to scale the model was 4-4-2 not 4-6-2. No scenics just bare track on the floor. That lasted until I was about 15 then nothing until my sons had some Hornby Dublo for Christmas in the late 50s, they never showed much interest though.

The only thing that makes me feel old is when they say that things like Bridge over Troubled Water came out 55 years ago.

I felt really old when, on the quiz programme 'Pointless', it was obvious some didn't recognise Chuck Berry from a picture of him
