I'll just add a bit to what everyone else is saying..there is no way Model Railroading is doomed, despite what others (usally on the fringes of the hobby) seem to think. Trains have always seemed to have some sort of mystique that interests everyone when they rumble past. I've seen this with my 10yr old son when visiting my father-in-law, who happens to have a portion of the old D&H (now CP Rail) line bordering his back yard. As soon as he hears the approching train blowing for the near-by crossing, we have to go outside to watch a freight or AMTRACK go past. To take it one step further, whenever I'm working on my small layout, he'll stop and ask me questions about what I'm building or what locomotive I'm working on. I think with the current availabilities of different modling supplies, buildings & equipment; the up and coming generation of modlers have some excellent choices. And in having these choices it creates the demand for more and better of the same. And that, my friends is what I think secures the future of our hobby.
