No, John, I am pushing 72 and I know one contributor here who is 84. The originator of this thread must be a teen. He considers over forty as "old farts" but I consider anyone in their forties to be young uns. BTW, this poll has been done a number of times and it always interests me to learn the age of some of the people who post on this forum. There are some that are less than teens who post some pretty serious and informative info.

Im the stupid rebelious teenager. I'm 17 . You know me alwyas causing trouble.
I am committed to restoring the existing system to a state of good repair as a first priority. I am committed to an efficient, high-quality service. I will ask that all of us review processes, work methods and procedures to increase efficiency. We will not be self-sufficient, but we must increase our cost recovery.

I think that it is great that you young gentlemen are involved in this or any other form of model railroading. It is a great hobby and it is made better by the wide diversity of ages, interests and ideas present.By the way, you youngn's should at least call us old farts, Sir!Keep on trainin!Rick

Same here - 45, for the better part of the coming year, anyway. That's not "old," it's more like starting to believe I'm not 25 anymore (especially after a bit too much exercise).Andy

And why don't we talk about why we are called "old farts". Never understood that term until I was one. Young at 57.

The voting is screwed up, if not skewed up. We need a cohort for age 60 and older.How about this question: Has MSTS taken the place of your social life?
