Informal Poll: Current generation of modelers, competent?

That depends on which area of MRRing you're referring to. As far as scratchbuilding goes, maybe, maybe not. True, it isn't as necessary as it once was, with built-up kits, etc. As far as the digitalization of MRRing goes, I think the current generation is definitely ahead, both in openness to new technology and computer knowledge and skill. <br /> <br />Personally I think the question is kinda snobbish. At the same time though, I do understand the concern about the loss of certain skills in a drive-thru, need-it-yesterday society. But isn't that what this forum is for?? Sure, there are Model RR clubs, but not everyone has one near them, and some, like the one near me, have a reputation for being cliquish (if you're not a Lionel man, yer nothin! kinda mentality). <br /> <br />So find an "incompetent" modeler, and be a pal. Pass on what you know. But try not to come off as a know it all. <br />[img][/img]
