I am thankful. Just wish we had more, but I do not know how to make
converts. . . . . . . . . . .

Obviously there is no "silver bullet" answer, but the suggestion of the day
is Show up at your NMRA division meets, and for the Show & Tell part of the
meeting, you naturally have something S scale. And just be a fellow
modeller. Any hint of "My scale is superior to yours" will get you no
where.
But the main reason I started to type this is an idea I've expressed
efore -- What are you modelling? No body should feel obligated to model
what he's not interested in, but are today's people thrilled by your cute
old steamers and little brown boxcars? Somewhere a young man might be near
a track when a AC4400CW roars past with maybe another loco and 100 or more
freight cars. And it occurs to him, somebody is in that thing controlling
it. And you walk up to him and you say Hey kid, You wanna see my cute
little steam loco go putt-putt (or grind-grind) around my track?
I offer no simplistic solutions, I just suggest we are (mostly) old pharts,
why should any kid want to join us old geezers?
