<p>[quote user="richhotrain"]Can't speak for Europe, Ulrich, but in the States, it is an old man's hobby. [/quote]</p> <p>Rich, same here, but it´s gradually changing. Younger folks are less and less into cars, using public transport to meet their mobility needs. At train shows - be it model or the real thing, you see an increasingly growing number of young folks attending. What´s missing is the industry grabbing hold of that opportunity by offering affordable quality stuff instead of cheapish toy trains or highly sophisticated but overpriced techie stuff! I don´t know many 10 year old owning a DCC + sound equipped $ 800 steamer! Mind you, the price level "over here" is even higher than at your end of the Big Pond!</p>
