Moonson posted:I respect, of course, your intention in what you are saying, here, MartyE, but I don't think immersion in this hobby can be solicited, nor even deliberately inculcated, at least not in such significant numbers as we are all part. The hundreds of thousands (millions?) of us model train hobbyists were touched by societal and historical and personal factors in our lives that will likely not be repeated ever again among the contemporary younger generation(s). IMO. They have already been moved and inspired by other factors and interests.

If we do nothing then there is little room to complain about the EDTCA and it's efforts. No one says it will take hold but you have to water the plant before it will grow. Maybe I am misunderstanding what you're saying.
