<p><font face="georgia,palatino" size="2">Lone Wolf? Obviously difficult to define. </font></p><p><font face="georgia,palatino" size="2">I started in the basement with my Dad because no one in school seemed to interested. That was during WWII. By age 16 we had a large 'O' 3 level, mountains, switches and crossovers and a lot of fun and learning. Mom helped with the paper mache mountains.</font></p><p><font face="Georgia" size="2">The next time my one of 4 kids (our son) got on & off interested and I started another too large layout. We moved, everything got boxed, problems developed. Two wives 5 kids and 7.5 grand kids, retired on & off later at 69 I have a 3' X 12' HO partially completed layout I bought from a friend who became a 'G' scale fan. He & I live 3 hours a part and he helps me because I'm really impressed with his skill level.</font></p><p><font face="Georgia" size="2">Well, I define 'Lone Wolf' for me as time for me and my head. The chnace to concentrate, make mistakes, correct them, laugh at myself, and occassionally look up say I did well. </font></p><p><font face="Georgia" size="2">I learn from the forums. I've asked questions gotten answers and not gotten answers. I go to the shows. I've been treated as a third-world refugee by members of one club and invited into another. One was snobs and the other was too big for me. I don't bring a particular skill to a Club. I am jealous of my time and love the freedom to do say or no arbitrairly(sp).</font></p><p><font face="Georgia" size="2">The small 'Round Robin' groups sounds like a great solution for a 'Lone Wolf' like me.</font></p><p><font face="Georgia" size="2">Good topic.</font></p><p><font face="Georgia" size="2">tchamp5</font></p><p><font face="Georgia" size="2"></font></p><p><font face="Georgia" size="2"></font></p><p> </p><p> </p>
