Sometimes, we hear from customers who believe our favorite hobby is dying, citing that young people simply aren’t interested in model trains. Thankfully, we know from the ScaleTrains™ Road Trip™ that the future of the hobby looks bright.
Take it from Nick Kolankiewicz, a 20-year-old from Chattanooga, Tennessee, who says the future of the hobby is thriving, especially among the N Scale community.
We recently sat down with Nick to discuss his modeling endeavors, where his love of trains comes from, why he believes N is the “Scale of the Future,” and asked him whether or not he believes in the myth that the highly-detailed models of today are preventing teenagers from getting into the hobby. He also shows off his new Rivet Counter™ N Scale CSX EMD SD40-3s, his personal favorite models to date.
