Encouraging Others To Get Started In Hobby At A Young Age
Our recent poll results highlight the importance of getting children (kids and grandchildren) involved in the hobby of model railroading, as it seems most of us currently involved in the hobby developed our interest at an early age.
A total of 1157 people took part in the last poll which asked: At what age did you begin working on your first layout?
The results were as follows:
Under 15 = 469 (40%), 15 to 24 years old = 129 (11%), 25 to 34 years old = 105 (9%), 35 to 44 years old = 91 (7%), 45 to 54 years old = 90 (7%), 55 to 64 years old = 143 (12%), 65 to 74 years old = 80 (6%), 75 to 84 years old = 14 (1%), 85 years + = 2 (0%), I haven’t started yet = 34 (2%)
