I'll say its both. Although I started out solo, recently I've sought out like minded individuals and joined the local club. I now enjoy both aspects equally. I get to work on my own layout and learn as I go, while at the same time use those skills to help the continuing development of the club layout. Plus I get to run larger trains and consist locos which is impractical on my ISL. I'm also learning how to operate a complex yard, read and learn switch lists plus the schedule that the individual trains operate within.

So I see it as a win - win scenario for me.

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%
