Without the intention to hijack this thread, but while I was reading the latest replies, a question came to my mind, which is somehow related to the OP´s issue. How do you hook the younger generation on trains in general, when trains are not a part of your every day life anymore? When I discovered my love for trains, we did not have a car, so all family travels were done by train. In those days, most of our summer vacations were spent in Switzerland and the train ride to our destination was always an adventure of its own! Trains for that purpose meant vacation, leisure time, summer, sunshine, adventure! I remember how disappointed I was when we went on our first vacation by car! It was just boring, rather dreadful, being locked up in a small car for hours. IMHO, if you want to interest your kids or grandkids in model railroading, you have to develop their love for trains first! Take the railfanning, take them on a steam train ride, tell the how you discovered your love for trains!
