  congratulations on the little nipper.

When ever I do work on my layout my neises always seem interested and with my two nephews growing up hopefully theyll take an interest in them too, plus by than Ill have trains running properlly haha.

Plus to be honest Im quite young, only early 20's

i am the vice chairman of the Crawley model railway society ,in the last two years we have gained four young members to the club .to keep them interested in the hobby we have had to come up with a plan to keep them interested. get them building small wagon kits doing small wiring projects etc etc .but the main area that is hard is for the membership to talk to them some of the older members seem to find this very hard at times.we do expect them to leave and go off to find girlfriends and work at  a later stage but if we plant the seed they do come back to the club at some point (I know it works i did the same).
it is hard to get young blood into the hobby  parents do have a big part to play in helping young kids by building a train set  or building models ,but what i fear is that because our lives are now to busy to spend time with our children that the xbox, wee and playstation have taken there place

Well put over and raised a point or two that i had not considered in the original post this to me seems a very good way of getting young blood involved so to all lets keep plugging away to keep our hobby going on
