Reply to "My dream/nightmare layout... July Update 7/31/19 Big Boy month!"

Well George, hobbies as we know them really grew out of the post war era, when things were very different. The pace of life was much slower, and people didn't have to work themselves to death to make ends meet. When it comes to this hobby, it takes the right mix of four elements, time, space, money and desire. All we can do to preserve the hobby is try to get people interested in what we do. If each of us just finds one person to replace them, the hobby will survive. When it is viewed in those terms, things don't sound quite so ominous. I've been working most of my life toward that end.

  • I've worked in a hobby store selling trains
  • I've done train shows with my portable layout
  • I've been in train clubs that reach out to the public
  • I had my own business exposing the public to trains
  • I've shared my love of trains with friends and family

 enterTRAINment had over 100,000 paid visits. I'd be willing to bet that with all of that energy spent, I've gotten a few more than my quota, but there's no way of knowing. Of course there's my son, but the jury is still out on that one. Fingers crossed. Now if we would just quit dying, we'd be in business.
