Reply to "Why Do We Feel The Need To Have Young People Take Up Our Hobby?"

My Dad gave me my first train for Christmas when I was 3. It was a Marx Green UP M10000 and was followed each year by Lionel trains, track, switches, and a larger transformer until WW ll.  After the war, I became fascinated with HO trains that lasted until my children were grown. Then in the 80's, I became interested in the scale sized O gauge trains that Lionel, MTH, Weaver and Williams were producing. I'm still enjoying their products today, but none of my children or their children have shown any interest Papa's hobby other than watching them run on occasion.
