QUOTE: Originally posted by BRIAN W Without making this sound like a confessional topic, over the years we all change and right now, I feel a change coming on. I have a nice layout with a lot of trains. I have gone from collecting Lionel to buying trains of all manufacturers. From toy to scale, although a lot of mixing. I used to wait in anticipation of magazines arriving, club renewals and TCA publications. This too has changed, and I'm even thinking of dropping the mags and clubs. I have CTT from day one all in pretty binders, and innumerable catalogues that seemingly procreate several time a year, to fill my shelves. I no longer go to TCA meets. I have all I want, I don't sell and what new items I want I get from the discounters. However, I do play with my trains virtually every day, if even for a short while, which gives me immense pleasure, so my interest is still there, but has definitely changed. Perhaps its the cost. I have my share of 1K locos, but that wears a bit thin when on considers the total investment, which one day a survivor will have to virtually give away. Perhaps they won't be able to give them away by that time! I still have my modest train reference library to keep me interested in the subject and my trains remain my main hobby, but not with the awe and reverence they once had. At least, right now!
