I've learned that I have the artistic skills of a squirrel where scenic work is concerned[:D], however, I seem to have a knack for repairing broken stuff and hunting down the information and parts that I need to do this. DCC has given me a whole new useful set of skills, such as precise soldering and being able to splice resistors into factory wiring (it says "DCC ready" on the package - it is, so long as you don't mind your headlight melting the bodywork around it...). I've also learned the value of buying high-quality equipment and searching for reviews - I now do this with everything else, so before any new appliance is bought here I'm hunting down reviews and opinions on it. I also now view broken items as repairable, and get annoyed when parts are not available (I can find parts for a 15 year old Fleischmann diesel loco, so why not a 5 year old washing machine?). Useful skills for countering the "throwaway society" trends and saving money as well as resources!
