And give him a hug! Date: 03/15/19 05:48 Re: Be like Jimmy Author: BlackWidow I'll caption this "Third generation child likes first generation equipment"
Date: 03/15/19 09:05 Re: Be like Jimmy Author: SPDRGWfan I think my sisters son was like this at a young age regarding trains, maybe sands the runny nose. He is now all grown up and recently started a full time job as a school teacher; AFAIK, the interest in trains didn't stick. But he is still young.

Time will tell! Yeah, what is it with the skip-generations thing? Model railroading never took with my son, even though I gave him frequent rides on locomotives, yet my grandson and one granddaughter are hooked.

It is especially rare in females but hopefully Davids grand daughter will become a train hobbyist as an adult too.
