Why not produce a series, like New Yankee Workshop, promoting model railroading? There must be enough clinics and the like to generate several 16 week programs, and clinics can be arranged to deal with any and all topics. Not a series about build a layout per se, but a series promoting the personal elation one feels when succeeding at a task that is new to them. Teach soldering relative to model railroading. Or building a scenic diorama. Or detailed painting with an air brush. Then mix in some train running along the way, showing how scheduling can benefit running multiple trains simultaneously. Produce these series without total emphasis on model railroading, but make model trains the focal point of everything that is taught/discussed. I think this will work, a subliminal sort of approach, where the trains are always there, but the topic being presented focuses on skills development. Now don't shoot. I only offer this as a suggestion. And how to pay for it? With contributions from manufacturers as suggested in a previous thread. <br /> <br />Tom
