The Future Of Model Railway Exhibitions

[grahame]

If we don't encourage youngsters into the hobby, in 20 years time model railway exhibitions will begin to look like OAP's meetings!

 

 

Not that they don't already. And what is wrong with OAP meetings anyway?

 

I think it's rather myopic to simply target youngsters. IMO, all people, regardless of age, should be encouraged if they show any interest, propensity or potential. It's a hobby that all, of any age, can enjoy. Possibly the biggest opportunist market is in the older returning modeller who has time and finance available, something that youngsters don't generally have.
