Based on what I have seen over the past two years I would guess that the percentage is close to 15-20%. Nothing here that you could call sceintific, but based on the number of folks that I talk with that are new to the hobby and the increased attendance at the ELCSTS that I run in York, PA. A lot of these folks will not post on the forums because they are intimitdated by some of us who post here and on the other forums. Each year at the ECLSTS and at the MWLSTS last year I spoke with folks who said I see and read your post but I don't post even when I have a question. Thats really kind of sad, these are the best tools these folks will ever have. A lot of these folks have something differnt in their back ground, many were never in the smaller scales. A lot have never seen a Garden Railways Magizine. I grabed a handfull of those that were left in the GR booth at the MWLSTS and have handed them out to new folks. These were headed to the dumpster so I put them to good use. You would not belive the look on some folks face when the see the GR Issues. "They have a Magizine for this hobby" is usually the first words out of their mouths. We just took 5 new families into our local GR club, four of them have never been inot model railroading before this. Three of those familes have family members who have never owned anytype of train before this. We picked up four of the five new members from doing a display in a mall. We have to be willing to do show and demonstrations if we expect this hobby to grow. Ron
