Well, we sold a 283 to a 14 year old at our last local train show. I am also 
noticing that ~30 year olds are starting to collect AF. They represent 
roughly 10% of the traffic, and they might not always buy a lot yet, but they 
are out there in the marketplace. There was a time when I thought that 
Standard gauge would hit the market by the ton and lower the prices. Guess, 
what?  It hasn't happened. A younger crowd is now collecting prewar and 
sustaining prices. I believe (actually, I know) that Chris is being too 
pessimistic.
