    I would settle for 20 years younger. And return to health.

    Could not agree more!!

    20 years younger, I’d consider the plastics opening.
    Since I used to do injection molding years ago! Just over 14 years.
    From watching several automatic machines, to mixing
    materials, to eventually pulling and setting molds.

    Aahhh, to be young again!!

    Keith, I'm not singling you out, you are just the last one to post. But my point is, do you want to be 20 years younger today or 20 years younger 20 years ago? I would love to go back to the age of 18, only if I could be 18 again in 1979 but still know everything I know today. I would definitely make a few different choices along the way.

    Sorry to hijack your thread Joe, Working at Micro-Trains for many of us would be a dream job. Sadly as a 60 year old living in Pennsylvania I do not think I would be a good fit for any of the positions. I do have one question, you don't have push carts to transport items from the shelves to the work stations? In the engine house where I work, we have push charts to transport parts from the warehouse to the locomotive. Sure you could carry a 25 lbs. 26L air brake handle set from the store room to the locomotive, but a push cart makes that part of the job a lot easier, especially for us older guys. Now I wouldn't use a push cart to move a 1 lbs. magnet valve or 10 lbs. cab signal discriminator from the store room to the locomotive unless I was moving more than I could carry, but some awkward parts it's just a lot easier to transport them using a push cart. That is why there is a stipulation on the railroad job application on how much you have to be able to lift, but there is no stipulation on how far you have to be able to carry something. Just something to consider to make things a little easier for the employees.

    I would LOVE to work there...doesn't matter what my age is, but since I'm about to retire, this would make an even better retirement 'job' (if you love your job, you'll never work a day in your life). Moving? Not a problem either since OR is close by and not a bad place to retire. Only thing that holds me back is I don't want to get fired for stealing and I don't know if I could be around all those trains without wanting to take some home to play with (not keep, just play and return)...

    Don't leave out you're not that far from Train Mountain at Chiloquin , a short drive for live steamers to get to the greatest miniature railroad in the world !
