I come here for a number of reasons, which include learning, sharing, getting to know other people, expressing myself, arguing, apologizing and being a member of the Trains.com family.

Most definitely a combo of the above.
I've said it a bunch, getting to pick all of your brains is a pure joy to me. I've had quite a few ideas modified by the thoughts of this group.
And I seriously thank you all.

Well, the lots of locos & cars part. I actual got it all out at Christmas and am trying to get them into some sort of order so I know what I've got. I do my best NOT to spend most of my time here, it is too easy to justify and end up wasting time. I found I was researching all sorts of things for other people and the things I needed to research were sitting here begging.

This place is great to just kick up my feet and relax. I can learn a lot just by
cruising the various threads. There is always something of interest, even
if there are different opinions. That's a strength of this forum - not everyone
agrees, so there are many views / options to consider.[:P]

A real mix of answers. I come to ask and answer questions, and for ideas, but more importantly it's something to do with the fact that if I try to talk trains to anyone else I get looked at as though I've grown an extra head and turned bright green! The ability to find others who will have had the same problems in the past is very useful. I just wi***here was a forum this good dealing with European modelling (Have a few Fleischmann questions that I've not managed to find answers to anywhere).

I'm with Chuck on this one. When I'm at home I "work" on the layout. When I'm at work I "talk" about the layout with you fine ladies and gents.

Helps the day go faster...that is to say when I'm not up to my naughty bits in work[:p]

No MR Clubs down here, and no MR friends eather. I'm so lonely... so... lonely... [sigh]
I don't really care much about the stars, if you see when I joined, you can see I've been around here for a loooong time ago. Even further back, when this forum wasn't at trains.com, but modelrailroader.com (That's the day trains.com was launched).
