I use to have a job where I worked four days a week during the winter. That's when I got started in model railroading. But now I have another job and work at least fifty hours a week year round and I also volunteer on the weekends at my local animal shelter helping to find homes for animals and photographing them for our web site. I also have pets of my own that I spend time with. Needles to say I have very little spare time. It took me about six years building just the roundhouse and turntable. And it wouldn't be finished if I didn't I became ill and was off work for five months. It kept me from going stir crazy all winter. <br /> Although, when it comes to model railroading I must have some kind of mental syndrome that prevents me from building anything as directed, which takes much longer to finish anything. Of course I had to scratch build a ultra modern cinder conveyor plant after I found prototype photos of one. Add on another 48 or so modeling hours. I also had to buy the most detailed coaling tower kit I could find. Add another 30 hours for paint and assembly for that. I'm turning 50 in a couple months and at the rate that I'm going, by the time I have a finished layout to run trains on, I'll be ready for the nursing home. <br /> <br />
