First let me say that I don't know if this has been suggested are not, But I have Two Ideas. <br /> <br />1) Set up a program for grade schools as follows. Have all manufacture Companies in the model railroad hobby to donate a certain amount of money to purchase Train sets. <br /> <br />2) Offer the programs to schools that wi***o particite. <br /> <br />3) Offer one train set for each grade 1 thru 6., or three to four sets to each school. <br /> <br />4) The school can then award a train set by grade or the whole school to the individual with the best essay on the history of railroading. Maybe even offer a Train ride to the best class. <br /> <br />I feel that this would be another tool to get kids involved. They are the future of the hobby. Put more trains in the hands of our children and you will see more interest in the future. Tony
