[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by TA462 ...lets face it, you ask a kid now days if he wants a train set for christmas or a Playstation 2 what do you think the answer is going to be? [/quote] That's an interesting point, which I tried to address when I attempted* to do a presentation for a home schooling co-op last December: Many of these video games are based on violent themes, and Model Railroading can provide an alternative form of entertainment. We have to get this message out to concerned parents - they are the ones who have the money to spend, they are the ones who would most likely prefer nonviolent forms of entertainment for their children and be willing to invest a few extra hundred dollars a year! Several parents I have chatted with about this hobby never even had a clue that something like this even existed, and thought it would be great if their boys were doing MRR instead[soapbox]. Reach the parents, and [hopefully?] the kids will follow. * The target audience didn't show because of a communication mixup.
