Skills: What are you BEST at?

[rexhea]

I am better skilled with the wiring or the electronic/ electrical and very comfortable with DCC. But, I spent over 40 years getting paid to work on and teach such things. This certainly doesn't mean there isn't more to learn. On the contrary. While I understand the technical aspects of DCC, applying it to it's full potential is still an area I must work on.

Benchwork construction would be my next skill. I love working with wood and have the proper tools which goes a long way. All the rest of the list are skills I have to learn as I go. Some I have never done at all before becoming a Model Railroader.

It's all about playing with trains ( and I use that term advisedly, soberly, discreetly, reverently, and in the fear of God), and I learn whatever skills I need to make that happen.

I can assemble an Athearn boxcar in the car coming home from the hobby shop (wife driving) in under 2 minutes [C):-)].

Well, seeing that I did it two weeks ago, I guess I'd have to disagree. Plus, there was no flash on the bottoms. Maybe I got lucky and bought an exceptional kit. But it was less than two minutes [:D]

yankee- I've never been that lucky. Had to file the flash on every door . Congratulations.

I am an armchair modeler and good at trackplans. I'm not bad at rolling stock kits and benchwork.

I say wiring and track laying, My wife says drinking a beer and staring at the layout trying to figure out what to do next.Her famous words are"you gonna fini***his thing someday?"

Dreamer.

I look at my layout and see how it will look 10 years from now. I hope my talents will someday catch up to my dreams. Even if they don't... it’s been fun in the meantime.

I love to do benchwork and wiring. I am decent at scenery but it takes me a it to get motivated. One thing is for sure, I know my limitations and I eagerly accept suggestions/tutoring whenever a 'master' is offering.

Jack of all Trades with my strongest point being scenery. Once I get charged up, there's no stopping me.

I voted "Jack of all trades, master of none."

I've done a bit of everything at some point. I'm probably best at painting and weathering if nothing else.

I've done some decoder work, its not to bad unless you put something in front of me that makes me want to work on something a little less stressful like a nuclear reactor.

Sometimes I really like detailing locomotives, what little I've done that is. I've always preffered starting out with something very detailed already vs something that needed tons of detailing. I don't know why.

My best skill is reading what everyone else has done! [:D]
