Im really bad with number one profiling. The other two does not fit me.

Forgot number 4, the mainline engineer. Everyone stand back and clear the main!

I also didn't put the guy that builds a Plywood Central loop and watches it run while he plans what his layout's really going to look like.

Nice chip. Good writing skills I see.
Let's see... I don't have scenery, not #2, I am DEFINATLY not #3, and I do love switching...
#1 is me.

I operate on big layouts several times a month. When I am there, I'm so #1.

When I'm at home, I tend to be a fanatic #2. I love scenery, structures and creating scenes.

But after going to a prptotype modeler's meet, I got intriqued. So I am building a switching layout so I can learn to be a #3.

That's great Chip! It will now be stuck in my own head for hours, if not more, but will give me something to do while I sit on my next work conference call trying to stay awake!

I myself would be modeler #1.

Actually I wrote it several months ago as a project. But it got stuck in my head worse that "It's a Small world." used to. I fifured if I put it out there, it would migrate to someone else's head for a while.
