<font face="Times New Roman"></font id="Times New Roman"><font color="navy"></font id="navy"> <br /> <br /> [:(] Yersterday in my Sunday paper came an advertising segment . It was from a large children's toy retailer -" Toy's - R - Us" . I don't know if all you are familiar with them ? Around the Chicagoland area & towards the East coast , they're pretty big . Well , as I thumbed through this ad booklet it HIT me - "NO TRAINS " . . . . . . . for kids ! The only thing in the entire catalog was one set of " Thomas the Tank Engine " . If we can't get the youth of America involved with our hobby , we are going to be in BIG TROUBLE ! As time progresses with fewer & fewer participants- we all age , there will be less available for the rest . It will become un-profitable for individuals / companies to expend the necessary monies to move this hobby forward . I'm not a rocket scientist ( just a civil engineer ) , so I need some help . I know about the "WORLD'S GREATEST HOBBY " campaign , but its visability , at least in my area , has not been significant . We have to get out & beat the drums ! " LET'S GO "-- . . . . . .. Please Advise , - Phil [8D] [8D]
