No matter which way you look at it model railways are up the creek without a paddle, once the next couple of generations have moved onto the big railway in the sky that will be curtains for the hobby as we know it. I have 18 grandkids all in love with iPads, xBoxes, PlayStation's or sport, when they...

Or should I say lack of them, here in the South side of Brisbane we have two shops catering for railway modellers, one of which caters for American type the mere mention of British and the shop owner looks at you as though you are carrying a fatal disease.
