I voted "I don't care I do my own thing" but that is not true I do care, but you didn't have any category near what i think. 1/ It is oneof the fastest growing pasttimes in the world and will become much bigger over the next ten years. 2/ It will become more electronic, people will want to have a system like the the MTS but won't pay the money. If you had a fully digitally controlled system, with locos with sound you just woudn't be bothered with going back to anything less. I can see it here, devoted old train people use my MTS and they all say what are we going to do with our layouts? Even smaller guage users are looking on their equipment as obsolescent. 3/ Equipment will become cheaper, as the scale of trading increases and automation makes big quantity runs really cheap. They will have to as the Chinese will get up to speed and offer good stuff for incredibly low prices just like power tools etc. 4/ You can see by this forum it is becoming more international and the ideas of Americans wanting yankee layous and poms wanting English layouts and even us Aussies will just have to look at what others are doing. 5/ as many of us live in cities, we will possiby look to producing a city layout (I'm considering one right now). We all look to emulate what we see around us. 6/ The gauge will not change, as we all want more for our dollar and that means standardisation. Regrds Ian (The Oracle)
