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.

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.

I like to think I'm social.
I used to be a member of a lot of clubs, now I'm down to one that I go to meetings for, and a few others whose activities I support (i.e. I get the newsletter).
I like operating sessions and I demonstrate at shows.
But noone comes over to run my trains.
I grew up thinking I was the only railfan in a small town; i could possibly go back to that if I had to.

In model railroading, there are between six and two hundred ways of performing a given task.
Most modellers can get two of them to work.
