It is hard for me to read all the doom and gloom I have just read in the past fifteen minutes. <br />So manfacturers offer, in plastic, locomotives that have tremendous realistic features like sound that cost a bundle, I needed an 0-4-0 for my dockyard that cost twentyfive bucks so your hobby can be as cheap or expensive as you want. <br />I have also read about getting kids involved in the hobby, hey I was given a HO set when I was twelve or thirteen but I did not decide to build a layout until I was in my fifties. One of the things that the kids do not have now, is the famous passenger trains. I mean, nobody writes songs about Amtrak like "Rock Island Line' "Wabash Cannonball" or "City of New Orleans" so it is up to us, the enthusiasts, to keep the romance of the railroads alive and to educate the younger generation that the railroads were the most important thing that happened to build this country. <br />The railroads are as big a monument as the Statue of Liberty.
