I really can't see the hobby being doomed. Model trains of one sort or another have survived as long as the real thing. We may even see increased interest in trains as fuel costs soar and people can't afford to fly. The reintroduction of trolleys/trams in city centres might well produce a new generation of traction modellers too. I'm guessing in 50 years time the talk will be of wiring a solar-powered computer control system, there'll be questions from people who've found this old loco badged "BLI" and want to know if it's worth buying, and someone else will be asking if anyone's heard of this old command control system named "DCC" (guessing something far more advanced will be around by then - with any luck it'll be open-source).
