The future of the hobby and an interesting statistic.

Don't worry the kids are fine. I'm 26 and in model railroading have been since I was about 9. In defense of The RTR stuff most kids really don't know the first thing about building kits so this gives them a chance to get into the hobby. It gives them a chance to have decent freight cars and buildings on their layout instead of all the trainset stuff like those of us who got into it back in the day had. <br /> <br />And If you're so scared about the future of model railroading then get out and promote it. Don't just stand around here preaching to the choir. Show your grandkids or kids trains. Introduce them to the hobby. Do some volunteer work setting up a layout at a community center. Don't just stand around with your thumb in your butt. Do something about it. <br />
