[quote user="Midnight Railroader"][quote user="Trynnallen"]Quite honestly I hope I never have the esteem of my peers, because that means that I have failed...myself. [/quote]So you like it when people come over and say they don't like your layout? You'd be unhappy if they thought you did a good job of building a model railroad? That's...unusual.[/quote] I failed myself because it is not, nor has it ever been, my attempt to solicate praise or criticism from the members of the club, or viewers of my layout.  Quite simply priase or criticism of the layout means little because it's not important.  If the were important than I might listen or preen, but since I refuse to get worked up or down over a past-time that is meant to reduce stress and provide family time, why would the critics be important?I don't ask for opinion and don't care to recieve it.  Where I trying to make money or sell my layout then I might care, but as most model railroads are for personal ENJOYMENT why should it matter at all what other people think?  I realize that we all have egos that need to be stroked, mine too, but my layout is not connected with that aspect of my ego.
