[SEL] Where is everyone?

[Alan]

I have been watching for the last couple years.
Almost half of the people joining our local club are young.
http://www.buckleyoldengineclub.org/

You must have a sponser and attend two consecutive monthly club meetings to join 
our club.
Seeing all those young folks joining the club is great.

The last remaining founding member of our club passed away in September.
He was there for the September meeting bringing great news.
 He had been working on a guy for over 15 years to get us more property.
He had just made the deal for 66 more attached acres.
He died about three weeks later.
In our November meeting we voted to name the addition after him.

I agree but I don't think it's just a matter of prices being too high. The skills to restore and or maintain old engines are quickly slipping away with each new generation.

Not many people left.  I suspect the glory days of stationary engines has
past, now that the big money boys have driven the price of a lot of engines
out of the reach of the average collector.
