If you get to see the WGH promotional video, it's obvious who they are aiming at to become model railroaders. They show three layouts - a very large HO scale one, a large Lionel setup operated by a dentist and his dentist son, and ambitious large scale outdoor layout with large trestles, working waterfall, etc. All layout owners are middle aged, nothing geared towards younger people. <br /> <br />Anyone seeing this video will assume you need a large basment to have an HO layout, you need to be a professional to afford a Lionel setup, and you need a professionally landscaped large yard to participate in G scale. <br /> <br />My limited experience is that Thomas the Tank Engine does more to promote model trains to the littler ones. Their eyes light up when they see an operating Thomas engine or setup, follow it around, ask questions, etc. Thess are the future model railroaders. But they don't have the money like those targeted in the video. <br /> <br />Bob Boudreau
