Thank you everyone for your posts. I was curious as to what most people thought about those modeling issues and wondered what everyone likes about the hobby. I've enjoyed reading and learned a few things, which is always fun. I think the thing I like most about this hobby is learning something new, it keeps things fresh and it's also alot of fun. Gives you ideas, sometimes changes the direction of your layout and model plans. When I was growing up, I was amazed at how my grandfather could pick out engine types just by certain details which I couldn't recognize, like steam engine wheel sets or the number of axles and hood details on a diesel engine, etc. I can agree that it's a great way to get more enjoyment out of the hobby. I like to build kits most of all, buildings in industrial environments most of all because I can get a lot of activity there. I think the main goal of my railroad is to get whatever new rolling stock I happen to find to fit into the layout, so I have a huge 3-bay carshop. I like BNSF equipment, mainly because I see it around home all day, but I have some other stray equipment that I like to use to change up the layout sometimes. My layout has mostly modern era stuff, but sometimes I'll pull off all the modern cars and kits and use 50-70's cars if I'm in the mood to show off the muscle cars & hot rods on my layout. Well, now I'm rambling on. Thanks for the replies everyone. I hope I didn't offend anyone. I keep hearing and reading about that stuff, and I was just curious about what you think. Thanks, Pete <br /> <br />
