Terry, <br />I wholeheartedly agree with you on the "flea market" phenomenon. <br />What I would like to see at the train shows in my area are more clinics aimed at beginers, & especially young ones. Have more small layouts, built with starter train sets, with some hands-on operation. Too many time the layout space at shows is taken up exclusively by clubs with huge layouts, which I won't deny, are certainly crowd-pleasers, but can also be a little bit stand-offish. <br />I think it might be a good idea to show a kid what he or she can create on a couple of bookshelves in a bedroom, & not leave them thinking that they need a 20x40 foot layout, & $10,000 worth of equipment to really enjoy the hobby.
