Not quite sure really cos I was never interested as a kid. I remember my mate had this huge train set but being about 14 I couldnt care less about it back then. On the other hand I've always loved travelling by train, especially at night(my mom took me on a night train once, coolest thing ever!)
As I got older I developed an as yet unconsumated interest in how engines work-part of me should have been a grease monkey but instead I was more into plants-my trade if you can call it that was always gardening(even though i hate gardening!)
Now as I get even older I find myself more interestd in history, things of the past and other 'good stuff'. I moved up north 7 years ago this month and theres a lot more of a railway culture up here. It just so happens that my fiance is also interested in similar things(we argue over who's gonna read Steam Railway magazine tonight now!) and her father is interested too. I grew up without a father so my interests were much 'softer' if that makes sense.
But hell, I'm a father of two myself now and young matthew who is 2 is fascinated by cars, trains, buses, anything with wheels in fact (he knows the tune to Top Gear for heaven's sake!)
He was sat on my knee last night while i was watching a Youtube video of a steam train pulling in!
