Do it! I plan on expanding my set when my kids get older. It's great fun. In the meantime, I'm really into weathering trains and learning more about that process.
I have a huge number of Kato(N scale)trains. When I was a kid, my Grandfather had a fantastic set-up in the basement ~ and it filled nearly the whole of it. He was a railroad man for decades, and never stopped loving trains. I guess I caught the bug from him.

Oooh...I just remembered the episode of Transformers that Cobra Commander(he was my favourite) appeared in. ?
There were also crossovers in the comics - recent & old
I'm only 30, but I love model trains amongst other things. Guys at work think it's a childish hobby, but I just find trains fascinating - especially on a small scale.
actually this is an old man’s hobby, these days79F19DAC-7C8E-4A1C-848D-7037831717C1.jpeg

I only get to blow out 38 candles this month, but since I have kids I have done things I would never imagine myself doing, including laughing at Peppa Pig videos. So no, I don't think your to old to do anything, like you ain't to young to do anything unless your of legal age, even if that's a stupid decision.

We all get just one lap around the track.

Somebody thinks you look “foolish” doing something you enjoy? Screw them.
Today at a stop light a college kid in car next to me saw me smoking my Butz Choquin calabash and was greatly impressed, especially when I told him it was hand made in France ... he asked what I was smoking and where I got it. I suspect he went off to buy a pipe. Everything old becomes new again. Who knows he may become a member here someday.

I used to go for a regular 30-40min walk around the Sydney Botanical Gardens during my lunchtime.

One day I spied a particularly alluring female form ? ahead and thought it would vastly improve my enjoyment if I followed it around.

Damned near killed me. The chiropractor's bill was so high I hid it from my wife.
That was the last walk around the Gardens for a very long time
