The LHS here in Georgia are down to a bare minimum. The only one worth a darn is 50 miles away from Athens, GA where I live. Trainmaster in Duluth, GA is fairly good sized.Much of the problem seems to be, even with Trianmaster, that "kits" are going "out of style." Instant gratification generation is the problem. I think when all the OF's die off it's going to be "if it doesn't plug together forget it."I'm 74 and definitely part of the OF generation! I can remember building stuff that all you got were some trucks, couplers and a bunch of sticks. I keep looking for the side dumping all metal ore car I put together 35 years ago but to no avail.I think it's TV, remote controls, shoot'em up with the badge shows and Twinkies that are killing the hobby. I mean, when you get in this hobby, you have to squat to get under the track table and nobody is willing to do that anymore. Besides they might miss another rerun of CSI Miami!
