[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by 3railguy [quote]QUOTE: Lately it seems that someone is always posting something about how the hobby of model railroading is slowly falling apart young people are not getting into it.[/quote] The sky has been falling for some people for as long as I can remember and it just keeps getting better. The hobby has never been as good as it is today. The quality and selection is a vast improvement compared to what we had twenty years ago. We've always had peaks and valleys which is the case with anything whether it be golfing or automotive sales. [/quote] I agree with 3railguy. I remember when skateboards were all the rage in the mid to late seventies. Then they kind of went in to a period of dormancy. Then all of a sudden they are back in the 90's with a vengance and stiil going strong today ( gulp, they may even be an olympic sport someday [:0] ) It is that way with many sports and hobbies, I don't think our hobby is dying, it's just reacting to the current state of our economy .
