Mehmet,

Yes, thanks again for showing us pictures of your remarkable journey and travels.

Looking at your pictures makes me concerned about the future of the hobby, because many of the people in the photographs are older gentlemen and there are very few younger members joining the hobby. But I suppose one day when we have gone, then the people who are younger members today will be older gentlemen and they will be collecting, just as we did.

Regards,BigGrin
John

Hi John,

Unfortunately you are so right..... Sad and I believe this hobby will not exist soon in the future....but I have some hope this time ....just keep an eye on the coming pictures....Wink

When looking at these great pictures it makes a North American collector feel so envious. When going to a model railroad show or bourse here you feel very lucky if you find one Maerklin, Roco or Fleischmann item. I think if I ever make it to a European show I will feel like a kid in a candy store!

Cheers

Hi Peter
When I lived in California I felt the same way, until ETE (www.ete.org) started the yearly Eurowest event near San Francisco in July
Only a short flight from BC...
