I live in rural West Tennessee about 50 miles north of Memphis (home of the Kiing of Rock'n Roll Elvis). I only know of 2 or 3 people who are active MRRer's with in driving distance. Even Memphis has only 1 or 2 trainshows a year. I've been a MRRer for 35 years and have often wondered if the hobby was headed to the crapper. It just seems to keep on keeping on. My biggest issue is the recent buyouts of Athearn and Roundhouse by Horizon and Lifelike being bought by Walthers. Lifelike engines that were $40-00 are now being offered for $80.00+. Walthers has always been High on their prices. Deals are still around, you just have to look harder. Many people have seen my layout and expressed an interest, byt never followed up on it. Like was stated earlier, as long as I have my VISA the hobby will survive.
