If your travel plans always include checking what hobby or train stores you might be able to visit.

If you have ever accidentally temporarily sanded your fingerprints off making wood for loads...you might be a model railroader- yes my prints did come bacj.

These are the opinions of an under 35 , from the east end of, and modeling, the same section of the Wheeling and Lake Erie railway.  As well as a freelanced road (Austinville and Dynamite City railroad).

If Model Railroading sneaks into EVERY conversation you have with not only friends, but also colleagues, you just might be a Model Railroader.

At one time you had more HO scale Locomotives, rolling stock and supplies then your LHS.

If your family asks you what you want to do for your birthday and you reply go to the LHS and do some train watching, you may be a model railroader/railfan...

On that same note when your family asks you what you want for your birthday and you reply a locomotive, freight car, and vintage railfan DVD, your might be a model railroader/railfan...

If you go to Starbucks and come away with one cup of coffee and 50 stirrers, or you leave McDonalds with one small order of fries and a dozen empty ketchup cups, you may be a Model Railroader.

 

I can relate to that. Not necessarily Starbucks and McDonalds, but other places also. The wooden coffee stirrers and plastic ketchup cups are useful.

Anyone else save toothpaste caps and whatnot with the idea to use them for vents or other details on rooftops?
