[quote user="TrainsRMe1"] Hey all,  I have a question for you, how many of you are lone wolf modelers, ( you have a layout that you work on alone)?? have you ever had times that you wished you had some help with work on your layout, you would like to have fellow modelrailroaders helping you create your world??  <div style="clear:both;"> </div> [/quote]   On my last layout, I had help with getting the basement ready and doing the benchwork and I was glad to have it. But, I'm like many others who've commented here. Once the actual construction of the layout began I wanted to do it myself. I've never belonged to a club, but I've heard enough stories from  people who have to eliminate that idea. I was a member of a few round robin groups and generally they were pretty good. The thing is, as you add members sooner or later you'll have a personality conflict. If you have a group and decide to add someone, it's easy to say, "It's just one more guy." Mathematically true, but it's not that simple. Presumably, he was introduced by a current member so we can assume that relationship is fine. But, he has to get along with the other members and they all have to get along with him. There were instances in two of the groups we had where personality conflicts created so much tension it was almost not worth going to some of the meetings. The group disbanded over time anyway, as many of them do. But I have no desire to start down that road again. As someone else said, having to get along day-to-day with people can be difficult enough. No one needs that in their hobby.
