Lets be honest, the average age of the model RR fan is about 65, and as they die off, so will the businesses that supplied them. It's sad that the majority of 30 and under people living in the US, have never been on a train, much less have one pass thru their neighborhood on a regular basis. In Europe you still see young rail fans, but not to the extent you did before the "jet age". But here in the US, when ever I go to the local train meet, I'm about 30-40 years younger than the average guy there... and I'm 35! <br />
