I read someplace that Nat "King" Cole, a wildly popular singer of the 40's - 60's (Natalie Coles' Dad), was a model RR fan. I think he worked in HO scale. He always carried a small suitcase full of hobby tools and a current project piece with him when he travelled, and that was most of the time. It's said he spent most of his free time, when on the road, in his room working on his hobby.

While I was still working I travelled a lot (about 50% of the time). So I always carried a small library of model RR related books and magazines when I was on the road. I spent  my free time planning, engineering, drawing and just plain dreaming about current and future RR projects. You don't have to be digging in the dirt in your backyard to stay actively involved in the hobby.

Good luck to you.

I am in a rather similar position -but it still hasn't stopped me. I work 4 ten hours shifts plus 3 hours commuting time. This gives me three days a week to myself, (S.W.M.B.O. and Son permitting!!!). I draw on the train, I even get space and time to carve the pieces I want out of ABS sheet, (other commuters read or knit).

When overseas at customers hotels I can "sit and study" and "plot and plan" in the rooms while I attempt to watch "Home DVDs" on my Mac. Life may seem busy at the moment -but it will get easier!!!

Being a full time colledge student and working four ten's and volinteering at NWSM dosen't leave much time for anything else. I am putting the tools away but the gears in my head should bring me projects for years to come. And I'll stay around to see what ya'll are up to.
