Tough choice this one between overall skils and scratchbuilding (PS: you left out scratchbuilding rolling stock), but I could only choose one.

There are so many aspects to this hobby that I am sure the majority would have picked the overall category like I did. Some days, I'm happy doing any one of the subjects posted, and more. Short of wiring, what appeals is darn near everything. Sometimes my attention focuses on one aspect-- right now it's scenery, but I can't wait to kitbash and build, and I have a fleet waiting for weathering. Lots of locos need repair, so maybe one week I'll open the backshop. Then another time, I'll be back to designing yet another modular concept. On and on, it never gets old.

If I were running this poll, I'd add detailing passenger cars, superdetailing buildings, and building scenery!

Having said that, just watching the trains go 'round is enough some days.
