Is a lack of entry level kits creating a skill gap

Perhaps we need to also factor in outside railroading sources of learning. While I did vote yes and I also see some disinterest in general normal modeling (like motorcars and planes) I'd like you to consider that there are other sources of learning the skills needed in model railroading... <br /> <br />For example, I have little model railroading experience however I have lots of skills picked up by doing miniature gaming and creating the terrain and structures for that. Anyone who has had a hobby of games workshop miniatures has the kitbashing, painting, and construction skills suited perfectly for modeling trains... well perhaps except the electrical. <br /> <br />Perhaps in the end there really is only two types of model railroaders anyways... those who it's a passing interest perhaps happy with a clunky plastic christmas tree set up and those who decide they want to take it to a serious hobby. Now for those folks the learning curve will be quick.
