Oops. Forgot to add this. I don't consider alot of these folks obsessive. I consider them passionate. If you look around you'll see the same attitude in lots of other situations. The guy who spends all day Saturday, every Saturday mowing and weeding his lawn, the folks who spent two year's salary on a vehicle and then hours each week washing and waxing it and putting on every little do dad available, those that don't just put photos in an album, but make every page a work of art (visit the scrap booking section of a craft store). Another way to look at the "obsessive" types in this hobby is to compare them with some other folks you know. There are people that spend more on a TV than I spend in a year in this hobby so that they can spend 20 to 30 hours a week watching it. There are people that spend there free time at a bar, or those that throw away their income on drugs and other things. What do these folks have to show for their time and money? Us - we have a train layout filled with modeling projects that give us big time smiles - whether they are shake the box kits, or massively detailed - corrrect number of rivits - scratchbuilt efforts.
