A fellow model railroader and I got to talking about the hobby and how it relates to kids. What disturbs me is the kids of today want instant gratafaction. Like zapping people on a comouter game, or even worse sex! kids need somthing thas more meaningfull and can teach them usefull skills. I am very happy that I am in this great hobby. Haveing cebrayl paulsy made it hard for me with my thinking and cordnaion, but model railroading has realy helped me so much! When I was a teen I found it so much more fun than being a couch pato. Switching cars in a yard is awesome! And thers so much more in the hobby that I enjoy. We as model railroaders need to get out there and get these kids intrested. Weather its putting on a demo at a high school, or having youth night at a train club, the ideas are endless! Lets get creative here. I always say that there never to young to learn about trains and the hobby. Its a fun hobby and we need to make it knowen. Some people fear that the hobby is dying,. Lets not let that happen!
