One of the fun things about model railroading which is pretty much a unique hobby is the sharing with others what you do in your spare time.  Sure there are other hobbies out there, but you do not hear as much about RC cars, Planes, golf and maybe fishing, but those hobbies or recreation are somewhat seasonal.  I suppose I could tell people I know I collect stamps or coins or build model air planes.  But the look on some people’s faces can be priceless when I tell them I am in to model railroading.

Well summer is here. Getting outside to enjoy the weather is becoming less enjoyable each and every humidex warning. The wife has the A/C running on full and wasting that just isn't in my plans. Getting inside to build models is.

 

A Dose of Reality,  not to spoil the idea of model railroading as being a fun hobby, there is probably a couple hobbies that are about as expensive as model railroading: one that comes to immediate mind is rebuilding classic cars and the other RC model cars.  Mind you, I have been involved very heavily in model railroading since 1976 when I was stationed at Fort Riley and leased a house with a nice big basement.
