Excellent post. <br />From my personal experiences, I see other people that find my hobby fascinating but as exotic as entomology. I try and explain to them that it is a never ending, animated hobby that can be enjoyed year round. The ones that are truly interested SWEAR they will have their own layout.......one day. I sense a little embarassment at the thought of "playing with trains" but my enthusiasm and passion for the hobby helps to dispell that . <br /> I don't think cost is as big an issue. Sure, it can be a formidable part of the hobby but it is in line with the cost of other "play things". Getting started today is just as easy as it was 25 years ago when I first started. As a matter of fact I'd say it's less expensive to get STARTED today than it was years ago. There's a lot of good, basic equipment out there that is inexpensive and readily available.With the advent of ebay and the rapid obsolesence of products these days, a person can find some pretty good deals.
