average 65?? not likely.....but yes we are aging.....so is the population at large, so of course our average age is going up too.....right now more dollars.(real dollars) are being spent than ever before on model railroading......death is obviously NOT imminent! <br />The times change...the hobby will last each of us at least til the end............next generation or so? a decline does seem likely. Fewer hobby storews will survive...as will fere Jewelery stores, Watch repair shops etc..the economy is switching to internet bit by bit ...it has its advantages, such as price and selection, but it has a downside as well. The buggy whip industry got a huge shock when Henry Ford introduce cheap autos, much the same is happening to retail outlets......im sure they will never totally cease to exist, but there will be less of them........it is what it is.......deal with it
