[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by tomikawaTT</i> <br /><br />On a rather serious note - the skills developed as a result of active model railroading can prove useful in totally unplanned ways! <br /> <br />On one occasion I made the preliminary plan for a (full scale) avionics maintenance shop which was to be built from the ground up. I am not an architect, but the final building was built to that plan! <br /> <br />Where did I get that knowledge? From scratch building structures following the methods found in articles in the model press. <br /> <br />I also don't hesitate to tackle electrical work, structural carpentry and machine design, for the same reason. <br /> <br />A seasoned model rail isn't a jack of all trades. (S)he is a master of all trades. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />That's it, you said it. TomikawaTT ! <br /> <br />I believe, if taken seriously, Model RR'ng, can help you with Real-World skills; It's happen <br />to me. <br /> <br />Her is the list. <br /> <br />--- Art- YEAH Art in 3 dimensions and backdrops. <br />--- Mechanical Engineering <br />--- Electrical Engineering <br />---Carpentry <br />---Building Architecture <br />---Landscape Architecture <br />---CAD (can get you started) <br />---History-(The study of different Eras) <br /> <br />-------- and many more <br /> <br />Then there is the whole subject of "Trains" alone, which could take a person years <br />to study. <br /> <br />Yes, it's a Great Hobby. <br />Sometimes the Scope of it all, seems overwhelming, unless a person would be <br />satisfied with "mediocre". <br />
