Comment from Russ:
I'm getting concerned about what's looking to me to be declining numbers of kids getting into this great hobby. Too many of 'em are all wrapped up in phones, tv, video games, etc. and don't know how to build something! Some of my favorite memories as a kid are when my Dad and I built my first model train layout. We even built hills and tunnels the old fashioned way, with screen, flour & water paste, and newspaper! I sure wish I could do more to encourage more kids and their parents to try it out. I don't have a layout right now, but am trying to work out where to put a garden train in my yard. Someday. Thanks for listening.
