[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by whitman500 My biggest concern is that the model railroading industry is not doing enough to attract new modelers, particularly kids. ... ...We need to do our part as well by both welcoming new modelers as well as not creating impossible standards that new modelers cannot meet. [/quote] I remember a thread here a few months ago, where somebody suggeted that some of us modelers with a lot of disposable income might 'adopt' a young modeler who is long on enthusiasm but short on cash. For eaxmple, I know somebody who has a huge layout, he has let a few area kids pick out a high-quality loco or two from a local hobby store, paid for them himself, then allowed them to regularly operate those locos on his layout[^].
