Reply to "A Practical Future for Toy Trains"

To answer the question on Practical Future for Toy Trains, I will take the "Toy Trains" to be post war conventional controlled Toy trains.

I say the future is bright for Toy Trains. Post war conventional controlled Toy trains are not in a growth mode which is fine considering hardly any new such trains are produced or sold. But post war conventional controlled Toy trains are perhaps the only inexpensive way to enjoy Toy trains today. They are easy to find used and simpler to understand, build and operate than newer scale like DCC or other wireless walk around control systems. They are the ideal way for one to get into O gauge model trains for a novice and those that want to touch a toe into the model train waters and not risk a thousands of dollars. If model trains are not for the beginner, he can recover most of money spent on the used post war Toy trains.
