One of the aspects of model railroading that has always intrigued me is its diversity. I enjoy doing research, and I've got a more than passing interest in kit building, kit bashing, scratch building, airbrushing, soldering, electronics, and woodworking. And, I'll confess to enjoying the model train porn that arrives in my mailbox in the form of magazines and catalogs. On any given day, no matter my mood or fancy, I can work in any of these areas and still remain within the milieu of the hobby. And I don't think I'm alone in this sentiment.Operations have never been a principal interest for me, but I read about them nonetheless. I'm also not huge on scenery or track laying, but that may change as my layout progresses.My point is that ours' is a wide-open hobby providing for a myriad of interests. Therefore, I think it's a pointless exercise to foist one aspect of the hobby as more important than all others. Each of us will ultimately pursue those activities that provide the most pleasure and relaxation. But, I think there are again many hobbyists like me who, when pressured into the belief that there's some compulsory end game in all this, will lose interest or leave the hobby altogether.This is my story, and I'm sticking to it.Lynda
