What are the things you hate to do in model railroading?

LOL, Michael! You must be a model railroad nostalgist like me. I love those old issues of Model Railroader. Some pages have great ideas, long forgotten. Others have the same old complaints that apply today. It's funny. Purists of the 50s were worried the "shake the box" kits (hence the derogatory name) would kill the hobby. Today, people worry the death of kits in general is killing the hobby.

There are many fine techniques and articles in there. Most recently, I was reading Mel Thornburg articles. Coincidentally, he was the first President of our local O-scale club. Since people used to build locomotives back then, I find that it is easier to find articles on that from back then. I have a pair of OR&L 0-6-0s to build in the near future, as well as a trio of 4-6-0s at some point in the next decade.
