Problem for the future of model railroading?

I think one of the big reasons for kids not taking an interest in the hobby is that are no longer any of the big steam locomotives in everyday service. I remember as a kid standing on a railroad overpass watching a steamer coming towards me and being wrapped in warm steam as it passed underneath. Like every other kid in my neighbourhood, I wanted to be an engine driver. With the passing of steam, I think a lot of the romance went out of the railroads. Of course, with the rise of air travel, all the famous passenger trains disappeared so modern day kids no longer have excitement train travel used to bring. <br />Pop
