Haha yes, I developed the same thing following a blackout! It was scary at first but now it doesn't bother me, sometimes can be distracting though.

Even as a child I preferred Matchbox over Hotwheels. I still buy a cool looking moving parts or construction vehicle if I find it interesting. Cool article!

Im so sad about this. I am 24, and have loved Model Trains my whole life. I grew up in India, where there was no model railroading scene (I picked it up as a toddler in the UK).

My drive for moving abroad was to have the space to make my own model train set. I got lucky and we made it to the States when I turned 18. But I still need to earn, get a house, before I can build my layout. Hope it sticks around until then.

My heart aches, I have such a passion for model trains. I’ve taken a few friends to shops and they always found it interesting. But no one buys anything. I don’t think kids will ever get into this, I blame the babyfication of Thomas and Friends more than anything else.

That’s not true! Google “Indian Generations” to understand where the difference lies.

I believe it’s divided like so: 1947-65: Invested in National Success and self determination. Do more with less is key. Govt Jobs are the best jobs.

65-80: First Gen to start moving abroad, more private opportunities, care about making money and enterprise.

81-00: First exposure to the West, TV, entertainment. More holistic in their wants and desires, such as love. Witnessed the westernization.

00-16: Grew up with Western ideas and tech right beside them. More online, more diverse etc.
