FiatFan made a great point. Many of us get our social needs fulfilled here at Big Blue. Most of my modeling is a solo effort, but part of that is because I am relatively new to the hobby and haven't acquired a group of friends here in Houston. That is changing some, as I have had a few visitors, and the ops session on my layout the other day was great. Have also operated twice with another group of guys at Mike Spoor's layout.

There is a club with an incomplete layout in a 50' x 50' building, only 20 minutes away. I haven't joined, mainly because I fear it will be a distraction from me working on my layout.

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%
