Sorry guys and gals, but I'm afraid that evolution of this hobby will bring it closer and closer to scale model railroading if we like it or not. <br />Look around, scale models are already on the market. And as more people come over from small scale they will drive the change in large scale. <br /> <br />Many people now in garden railroading were not only new to garden railroading but new to model railroading it self. Some didn't even realize there was a difference between narrow gauge and standard gauge. So now we have collections with both types mixed together. Yes, some did this on purpose and some did it because they didn't know the difference. <br />People coming from the small scales will be far more knowledgeable about trains and scale. They will want as much scale as this part of model railroading can provide. <br /> <br />We will not drive the changes, they will. It's going to take time but it will happen just as it did in all other scales. <br /> <br />I hope these new people don't spoil the friendly relaxed nature of garden railroading in the process. <br /> <br />Just my opinion based on the past......OLD DAD
