Worlds colliding

[nachoman]

I think it's funny how there are many MRR's among us that we don't know about. I've said it before, MRRing is a lot like a moped......mopeds are really fun and cool, you just don't want your friends to know you ride one!

It's not one of those hobbies that is visible. If someone's hobby is vintage cars, then you see them driving around in their cars or at least working on them in the driveway. Most of us have designated "train rooms" (usually the basement) that are out off the way, and definitely not visible to the street. And, it is not a hobby that requires group participation, such as sports. You are much less likely to meet another train enthusiast at random. You could have a neighbor down the street who has a huge basement layout - but you would never know it unless somehow the subject comes up. Their wife may not like train decorations in the living room, and the only times you talk are to discuss neighborhood subjects.
