Simon Kohler Interview Part 1

[@MichaelStevens-f7v]

Great Video .Simon got It one.I use to morn Beaties when they stopped trading .Big shows are very costly.When I was in the Harrogate Model Railway club we had a big show that only broke even or made a loss.We had a vote and the following year we put on a show in a church Hall and the wives and Girlfriends did the catering and we made a profit enough to replace our track on the club layout.

Great to see and hear Simon again - great interview. I don't think that the hobby is dead - we maybe custodians until the Thomas The Tank Engine generation re-engage with the hobby🤔✌️🤞😊. Hattons? That's a separate issue, more to that than meets the eye. Warley is understandable, and aligns with my thoughts on the subject, and, the subject matter expert, Simon implies similar. Hobbies, pastimes are very therapeutic and more and more we are all realising that such is much needed in this day and age. Mindfulness in activity is as good as meditation in many ways. Our family's small garden line has encouraged several youngsters to join heritage lines, go up to university to study engineering, and others have gotten into the smaller scales and gauges. I'm convinced that those youngsters will be along with the hobby in the future. I've helped with exhibitions, operated at exhibitions, set up charity events etc, it's incredibly hard work and very time hungry. There are still plenty of regional, club and magazine driven model railway exhibitions. Let's just keep on keeping on and see where it takes us✌️👍😊🤞💜✌️
