Best of luck to Dennis Garnelli in his retirement. The demographics of the model train audience and those that own many of the train stores has been changing, especially so in the last ten years. Online buying has also altered peoples buying patterns and has greatly affected the train show calendar. As the years progress, as with all else in life, continued change lies ahead . There are still 1.2 million model train enthusiasts in the USA (all gauges) , and the train market is several hundred million dollars. I believe its safe to say that this hobby will continue to evolve and go on for many years to come. Don't worry you will still be able to buy your trains!
