There's absolutely nothing wrong with a 4x8. Truth is, that's probably the best way to learn the basics of model railroading and to gain the inspiration to do more. And, of course, it is the way that most people start out in the hobby because a sheet of 4x8 plywood is simply a logical and convenient way for many to get their start. And it's completely logical for MR to provide that inspiration on an annual basis to those who are introduced to the hobby during the holiday season (the time when most are enticed to join in). <br /> <br />And forget about coercing kids to get involved in the hobby. It's a HOBBY, and some folks--kids, included--will be attracted to it, and many others will not. It has always been that way, and always will be. You can't force your son or daughter to become involved. Their interest will either evolve or it will not. You can encourage it, but you definitely cannot force it (which will have just the opposite effect of the desired one). <br /> <br />Enjoy your hobby in your way, and stop fretting about others. If they see you having fun, that's the best "sell" for the hobby that there possibly is.
