I know little about repair end, but the demographics bother me. You need a career for 20-25 years, and this old coot and maybe a lot of others, with an interest in analog trains, will not be buying or wanting trains repaired. Since today's maybe dwindling market is made up of digital trains, l think you would be forced to become skilled in that, which you may not love. There is/was a poster here who said he worked in computers and didn't want electronics on his trains. A lot of people want and are buying digital trains, but they won't have skills to repair. That may be the long term market.
