Thanks Strasheim you said what I wanted to say. I too am 26 although I've been in modelling since I was 10. Part of what got me into it was Seeing trains running behind my uncle's house as a kid and visiting a layout on display at the Carnegie Science Center in Pittsburgh. I also was interesting because in Boy Scouts I read artiocles about train layouts in BOYS LIFE Magazine. The hobby will be doomed if all we do is sit around like a bunch of Chicken Littles crying "the sky is falling the sky is falling". <br /> <br />If you're in a boy scout troop suggest maybe during meeting they build a train layout instead of jaw-jackin' for a whole evening. If you're ina club hold an open house. <br /> <br />If you have kids take `em to one of these open houses or show them your own layout. Or build a layout as a family project. Tell `em they ain't gonna spend all saturday morning or summer vacation playing video games and watching cartoons. Expose them to some interests. Sometimes being a parent means you have to give Junior a gentle nudge or good swift boot in the***in the right direction.
