Keen on learning/media/tinymce_upload/6003f41772bbfbc325794deb011dc0a4.jpg photography and video-making too. Good to think that there is future hope for the hobby.
dadad Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 Hi there, sorry no picture but, I have railmaster and elink. when a grandchild comes to visit they always ask to play trains, if I explain the "fast", "slow", "forward", "reverse" icons and explain which train is which. They control the trains following my instructions whilst I leep arround changing points.I realy must get round to wiring up my accessory controler. John
newmarella Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 I noticed at a recent Aussie Model Traiin Show that there was a concerted effort to attract young people to model trains, out of the 45 plus layouts there was about 5 or 6 set up for youngsters to control, each had a line up of children waiting to have a go, hopefully some of that will encourage parents to buy their children train sets, like many us oldies once the seed has been planted many of us make a return to the hobby.
