Andre said it,I said it,YOU HAVE TO LIKE TRAINS TO WANT TO MODEL THEM. How many people would buy trains if they were cheap? Oh, sure, there would be a jump, but don't think it would be the rage it was back in the fifties/sixties, when it was the gotta have toy. The reason us babyboomers are into model railroading is because we had it in our youth, a lot of us left the hobby in mid sixties as we grew up,went to college,war,got married,did other things, then in 80's/90's, we all discovered our old friend,model trains. <br /> Have you been to walmart/k-mart, or toysrus?How many model cars and airplanes do you see now? Not as many as a few years back. Why? Prices? No, lack of interest. Go buy a kid an eractor set, see how long before it sits idle. Buy him a gamecube, and try to pry him from it to eat dinner. No my freinds,prices are higher,but the interest has dropped and the two aren't necessarily related. <br />Mike
