I love having an (other) excuse to play with my kids. I'm 33 and I've never really grown up - just out. My son doesn't know it yet, but I bought some Unitrack for him for his birthday next month and have a fairly ambitious plan for building a modular layout in the basement. I hope that he, and maybe my daughter too, will spend countless hours with dad, building things, adding scenery, and running the trains.
Kids are great for many reasons. Not the least of which is to buy toys "for them."

I enjoy going to a hobby shop and buying a brand new locomotive. Something just makes you feel really proud of your self. One thing i dont like, is that you always need more[banghead][bow][yeah]

I love Model Railroading because it allows you to basically run your own railroad empire. You can lay the tracks wherever you want them, run the trains the way you want, and you can do scenery and add buildings and build your own little world. Model Railroading is so fun and exciting and it allows a person to continually add on to what they have and to use creativity to create a new building or decorate a car. Model Railroading is probably one of the best hobbies available.

I prefer to say things I
like
about model railroading instead. Love my wife, and there are a few times she thinks model railroading is her competition [;)]
I like being around other modelers who enjoy the atmosphere of running trains.
I like the feeling of finishing a detailing or building project.
I like the feeling (my wallet doesn't) of bringing home a new locomotive or rolling stock.
Take care,
Russell
All the Way!
