 Jobless people don´t buy trains. Remember the heydays of the hobby? Those glorious 1950´s and 1960´s? Trains were expensive, much more expensive than today, but people had jobs, an income and a perspective. That´s why they also spent money on trains - for their children (that´s us now) and for themselves.  I agree, it may be too late already, as most of the "toy" (no offense meant, but that´s what it is) production has  moved to China and the price level is rock bottom. If China gets too expensive, moving on may not be an option - too few modelers left.But I just don´t believe in this "Move to China or bust" - argument any longer. So if those importers/manufacturers are not making any money, why stay in business at all? I guess we all would be surprised, when some of those companies would have to publish their financial results. Only few are in the business just for the love of model railroading. I wish Bowser would still make those PRR loco kits, I´d pay a good price for it, because I know the care that went into this product. Call me old-fashioned, if you like.
