Folks should not lose heart just because there are changes in the hobby that were somewhat inevitable. Other hobbies are experiencing the same thing, but model railroading is still a very popular and viable leisure pastime, and there is no real possibility that it is going to fade into the sunset. There are and will continue to be changes, but those of us who love and support the hobby will continue to do our best to see it grow to new generations of enthusiasts. The young--very young--folks who are publishing Railroading In America Magazine are living examples of the attraction trains, railroading, and model railroading still have to the younger generations who we so often assume are only interested in video games and the like.
