[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by BRAKIE I think student fare would be more wasted space and not in the best interest of improving the magazine.I mean all you will have is this,see my layout, see my SD40-2,see my what ever and no real modeling information..More like a show and tell at the local high school like it was before... [/quote] Well, picture this. You're a teen, write a letter to Model Railroader, and have it published in their magazine for thousands and thousands of people worldwide to see. Do you know how big of an honor that is? It basically makes the teens feel welcomed by having a place for them to be able to voice their opinions and whatnot in the world's largest model railroading magazine. This is a good way to help teens in the hobby and even get more teens into the hobby instead of having them get frustrated one day trying to lay track or whatnot on their layout and just quit all together. Besides, we're trying to save this hobby and youth is the key. That is the exact reason model railroading went downhill in my opinion: adult modellers being prejudice towards teen modellers. Why? Because most of these people believe the average teen is a punk kid who hangs out on the streets, destroys and vandalizes public property, and constantly blasts loud music in the middle of the night. In reality, however, this is far from true, as only a very small percentage of teens are this way. So, in my opinion, this column would help the model railroading world and certainly help WGH's campaign towards saving model railroading from utter abandonment. Now, I'm not pointing any fingers, but it still seems to me that there is still a large number of modellers out there who are prejudice towards teens. To those people, I simply have two words: GROW UP!
