Sam's book was excellent, and the point he made was that model railroading as a hobby can be different things to all of us who are in the hobby. There are really no hard and fast lines, although there are those in the hobby who insist there are. That said, I suppose I'd fall into the "crossover" crop - about 50/50 scenery and operation. Operation is fun, it helps hold interest in the layout and the hobby by causing one to learn history, design, electronics, and an operating scheme. Scenery is fun, too, because you need a pleasant and realistic world to operate your trains in, and building such scenery is not only satisfying and challenging, but really fun when that world comes alive with the trains rolling through it.
