Your point is right on the money. Sometimes I wi***he hobby manufacturers like Bachamnn and Life Like would just drop their mostly low end garbage and comcentrate on what they do best -Spectrum and Proto1k and 2k stuff. Ultimately they may sell more products because if my first HO had been one of their low end items, I would have more than likely started flying RC planes. If a newbee is interested enough in trains they may stick it out and search for something better in their subsequent model train purchases, but probably many wouldbe model railroaders just called it quits, because it wasn't fun staring at something that didn't run , and/or looked stupid to them after they learned just a little bit more than when they started out. <br /> <br />I imagine this is a larger issue in locales where there isn't a LHS, and a newbee will probably acquire their first model train from KB Toys, Hobby Lobby or Wally World-all known for carrying nothing but the finest (sic) HO trainsets. <br /> <br />Unfortunately, as long as retailers inventory junk, this problem will persist. I'm amazed when I see this crap in LHSs. Do they think that they'll develop a loyal -for -a -lifetime customer, or are they just trying to grab one sale at a time. Or are they just stuoid?
