Speaking for myself, I am returning to the hobby at age 32. I don't think it is dying; however, it would help if the magazine subscriptions weren't so expensive! My favorite car magazine is about $18 for two years; probably because the aftermarket parts market is huge, and advertisers are willing to pay more to the magazine publishers than model train manufacturers. Lately, I have been sticking more to buying Model Railroad books for that very reason. Also, I got my first Walthers catalogue in 15 years and was surprised, no SHOCKED at how expensive some of these small parts have gotten. That said, it's still nice to be able to do a small afternoon project for little or no money, compared to putting parts on your car!!!
