I'm very sorry to hear about Az trains going out of business. I'm in the senior adult tour business and while the ladies were at Old Tucson I'd go to Az trains and enjoy myself. I support hobby shops were ever I go because I want to keep them in business. It's usually a kit here or their or maybe a decoder or piece of track that I'm going to need when I get back home. The manufacters are going to produce what sells, that is the only way that they can stay in business. Walthers sold the "Super Chief" one car a month. Now I see that other manufacters are doing the same thing. I can spent $40.00 a month for a car for nine months a lot easier then comming up with the whole price at one time. I probably have every car that Silver Streak ever made on my layout but the new RTR's have a lot more detail and I've got time to do other things, like listen to my new BLI 4-8-4. I've put sound decoders in some of my old steam engines but it is nice to be able to buy it off the shelf. I see more people at the GATS shows then in previous years. Look at the circulation figures for MR and RMC and that will give you an idea as to how the hobby is doing. I was at the Lone Star convention last month and was amazed at how many model railroaders are just arm chair modelers that buy an accasional item for the future railroad. Have a blessed day and remember SANTA FE ALL THE WAY Bob
