[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by cmrproducts Most people only go to the shows to buy stuff not sit around and watch a clinic. Local train shows are only for buying/selling trains. BOB H Clarion, PA [/quote] On the contrary, I, and plenty of people I know that enjoy MRRing go for more than just to buy stuff. The problem I think is that some people/clubs see these shows as "hey check out how great we are" (that's nice. Saw it last year bub. And the year before. Oh by the way, you're water tower you built ten years ago is falling over.). What these shows could be are windows into the fun and facets of the hobby. Instead of using their modeling talents soley to show off once a year, more ought to be implementing ways to encourage others to increase their own skill. Workshops and how-to clinics are great ways to do that. Perhaps the lack of interest would be solved if the clubs who sponsor the shows put more investment in advertising that mentions, among the other aspects of the shows, such workshops. If there weren't a good target group for this kind of thing, then why is this forum so popular? Sorry, but shows are not just for buying and selling tyco junk and overstock. And if they are, then maybe that's not a good thing! [:0]
