Model building, is a solo activity.
Model Railroading is a social activity.

I need the peace of mind I get from building. I can immerse myself in the creative process and enjoy it. If there are others around, that peace and immersion, are lost.
When it comes time to display, operate, and socialize, it's Model Railroading, shared, and a very social thing. The problem with clubs is --- " ...and nine rings were given to the race of men who, above all things, desire power "
---all that power struggling, and too little fun.

Very well said, Cheers

Poll: For you, is model railroading a solo or social activity? You do not have permission to vote in this poll.
Solo Activity. I enjoy doing most of my modeling by myself. I find it a healthy way to calm my brain and spirit, relax, think, and decompress from everyday stress. Having too many other participants causes me to lose focus and sometimes prevents my full enjoyment of the hobby.	82.50%	33	82.50%
Social Activity. I enjoy modeling with others, inviting others over for operating sessions, and participating in clubs. Without the social contacts, I would have less interest in model railroading.	17.50%	7	17.50%
