Having seen deltic1989's thread about partners taking an interest in our collective hobby, I thought it might be interesting to provide a contrast between partners' interests and family interests.
For me personally, most of it comes from my father, although it has waned a bit with him as other things have taken precedence, as proven last year when we went on a Travelcard day out and he went on all kinds of things he had never been on, in spite of living in London (e.g. 378s, Tramlink). Otherwise, my brother has a slight interest, but probably no more than I do in aviation or cars, and the only other person who seems interested isn't really applicable because (a) she [yes, she] has picked it up from me and (b) she's only 4 anyway! EDIT: See Post #11 for a massive twist to this!
What of everyone else then? I'm thinking families in relation to the one you grew up in, as opposed to the family you started (where applicable).
