The hobby is become much more segmented, case in point the Key 5 grand AC12s were gone before they
were delivered. PBL won't have any trouble with their $2500 Sn2 Shays. The quality of HO ie
Tangent and some of the other builders is very impressive and sells out quickly. Maybe the overall
ie head count, is down, but the interest is still there. One last point, the shops you mention
never catered to the market that still exists, sure Internet sales are lower priced but they also
offer the variety shops could/would never carry.
