Remember the mid-fifties to early sixties,model trains were the thing kids liked,then came slot cars,the whole family could do thing.Model trains felt thedrop then,American Flyer dropped out of site, Lionel was sold in cheaper sets,HO held it's own but the numbers were down.Then us baby-boomers found girls,cars ,college, work and trains went away,some right in the trash.Along came the eighties,baby-boomers discovered trains again and the hobby surged, now it's running slow,probally because the newer generaions don't have a connection to trains as we did. Another reason , I suspect is the redundantcy of hobby makers, I mean how many emd f's can you own?They seem to over saturate the market,then feel the markets slowing down.Basically, it's a hobby for me(anyhow),I just enjoy it for what it's worth.
