Office of Steam Forum for Model & Toy Steam Gas & Hot Air Engines

I don't think all is lost Gary, I go to 2 main shows a year & see plenty of children, especially at the local model toy steam show I just had a few weeks ago, I let kids operate my sawmill & steam engine pencil sharpener, I can tell you about twice as many kids ran my sawmill vs. the pencil sharpener (by the time I got the kids through the sawmill line, many had wondered off before they knew about the pencil sharpener) I had nearly 100 pencils sharpened with my steam engine pencil sharpener.
