Ok, "Why do YOU Model......Trains?"

Hello guys and gals, Creators...Visionaries....Artists.....Obsessive-Compulsive.....Friends.........

I have spent this day looking at the Trestles/bridges/layouts that ya'll have created....

WHY? Here's my question/topic. What is the drive... the inspiration, these are truly works of ART! and yet, many are only shown here...... shared among those of us who, hmmm, appreciate what it takes to make water look wet, tunnels look used, rolling stock look weathered. WOW, just wow....

My basic floor-under-the-tree layouts truly pale in comparison to ANY of what you have imagined. And yet, when I mention to my dear friend Elliot..."well my wife asked me how many trains does one man need..?" He quietly replied... "Well Scott, bring her over here and I'll show her how bad it could be...."

I took my first stab at repairing-integrating 022 switches. AND many of you helped me learn what it takes and opened yet another new door to this Grand Hobby/Lifestyle. And, you help with the kind words of a Coach, Mentor, and friend. I also tried my first tunnel-under-amountain ,,,,,,, guess step 7 was that the train rolled under it and my grandson will help me add trees, Goats, Brush and sheep (and a small fence).

Thank you. I am grateful and wonder "WHY Model?"
