<p> 15 or 20 years back, nobody would have thought that we operate our layouts by DCC, reducing the ammount of wiring and paving the way for double heading and sound. What will happen in the next decade? I guess that electronics will become even more refined, with sound entering even into N and Z scale. Landscaping materials will also change - making it easier to work with - just like we experienced with foam insulation board.</p><p> Level of detail will improve, making our models even more realistic, together with animated figures and sounds.</p><p>The type of layouts will not change - maybe a touch more of nostalgia will enter the scene. </p><p> I am pretty sure, that prices will increase dramatically as there will be less people in our hobby - we already fail to trecruit the next generation...</p><p> </p><p> </p>
