Looks like google predicts the end of model trains

I didn't want the discussion to be black and white because it's not ...........it isn't either " everything is wonderful OR the sky is falling " , nor is it easy to identify . I don't think money is an issue ...kids have a lot of money these days compared to what we had , it's where is the money going ? And things will never be the same as it was when we are young nor do I expect that . What I do expect is that excitement and passion and stick-to-it-ive-ness and hard work and personal pride stand out in our hobby and others that were mentioned . Attention spans seem to be much shorter .

People involved in minor sports are concerned about diminishing attendances of kids wanting to play . Lots of reasons of course , just like trains , but it's happening and we just have to figure out a way to keep things going , be it trains , slot cars , what have you .
