Yes Like Slotracer and ejbulman I see the weirdos at the shows etc...One of my other hobbies is Amateur Radio (That's my old call sign I'm using for my username, my current call is W4IK) and man you see the same type of "creatures" at the hamfests(Amateur Radio swapmeets). I get the same looks/concerns from my wife. I just keep telling myself that for every "strange" person there's got to be ten 'normal" people. And hey individuality is what makes the world go round, right? BTW Amateur Radio is going through some of the same issues. i.e. Morse Code users vs non Morse Code users - akin to the prototype vs freelancers. Using manufactured radios vs scratchbuilt radios(Homebrew in Amateur Radio parlance)...Sound familiar?? Aging of the population...bemoaning the lack of newcomers,etc. It still does seem that price is the number one concern for model railroading. Anyway this thread got me thinking...and I don't mean to hijack the thread but.....I wonder if any hobby has ever priced itself out of existence? Greg
