Usually, when you visit our mega-bookstores -- our Chapters/Indigo chain -- there are at least 2 to 3 North American model railroading magazines and 2-3 on real-life trains. There are also (depending on the store) usually 2-3 British model railway magazines as well as 3-4 on British full-scale historic steam trains and/or on the contemporary railway scene. I know that there are even more magazines out there, so it looks pretty healthy to me.
I'm 52 and I also hope to get into the hobby a lot more when I retire. We currently have a small house in Toronto so I only have small/micro layouts. One day, I hope we'll live in another city and have a much larger house (where real estate is much more affordable). Right now, lack of space, time and money prevents me from getting any deeper into the hobby ... and it's been this way since I got back into the hobby about 8 years ago.
