Looks like google predicts the end of model trains

[Tyson Rayles]

Yeah Larry, that's the one thing I don't like about the museum. People see that 45' by 25' layout and all those trains on the wall with $$$$$ values in the thousands in some cases and they think they need a 1000 square feet and a million $$$$ to enjoy the hobby. I am always quick to tell them basically what you do and I keep pics of my 6 foot by 28 inch home layout and pics of my shoebox layout down there to show them what can be done in a small space. I also encourge the others that work there to downplay the size and cost factor when talking to the people. Even though I've been in hospitals and rehab centers for the past three months thru the use of my laptop I've continued to promote the hobby. On a side note I continue to be amazed at the amount of women who show a strong interest in the hobby.
