Trains.com staff: total size of hobby?
Posted by Anonymous on Monday, September 23, 2002 9:31 AM
Hello folks. Is there an estimated ballpark total of the number of active model railroaders in the hobby, in North America ?
I mean everything from Scale to Garden, to HiRail.
The last MR survey estimated that 79% of the MR readers had a layout. Then there would be the Garden and HiRail groups, and of course, there would be others that do not get MR, maybe other publications.
Thanks & regards / Mike

Hi Mike,

There are approximately 500,000 model train enthusiasts in North America.
