Please put your age in the poll. This is something I have wondered for some time and I admit I've done no research, but the poll should say alot.
With the popularity of Thomas the tank engine and Chuggington and other train related entertainment, will this cause many kids to become future model railroaders? My son is almost three and the only thoughts he has are about trains. I can only hope this will lead to a future interest in model railroading. It seems alot of older model railroaders probably had a lionel train or some sort of train as a kid that turned into model railroading as an adult. So will todays train related entertainment availalbe to kids and the popularity of it spur future model railroaders where without it this may have been a dying hobby?
P.S. My wife has about had it with the trains. As I type this I have split screen with my son picking train videos on YouTube on the right hand side of the monitor.
