Looks like google predicts the end of model trains

When you started scratchbuilding, did you have guidance? did someone teach you, or were you self taught? I think our culture has changed since then, and I'm not so sure it is a simple step to go your route these days.

Someone taught me. OK - - Me.....and the authors of the construction articles in Model Railroader, Model Trains, and Railroad Model Craftsman.
( I am, of course assuming that the younger folk of this day and age, can actually learn something from the printed word )
I stated earlier in this thread, " We all just have to be willing to teach the "new kids" how it's done . "
That's part of what makes this board so valuable. The "How To's " we post here, are the modern equivalent of the old,
" Construction Articles ". Here, the learners can ask, and we can answer them.
