I tend to agree. I get a lot of the "I didn't know Lego made trains" at train
shows and give them the standard spiel, "Yes, long time, mostly mail order,
etc." We've done shows with a train set or two available for sale (MSRP) and
IIRC have sold a grand total of one. Most (not all) of the shows we do just
don't have that many attendees either, not enough to convince me that the sum
total of public LTC showings generate a significant market for Lego trains.
