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.

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.

Model railroading - a solo or social activity?
#38
Koos, you're not the only one -I don't really fit in either category either!

On the one hand, most of my modeling time is on my own, de-stressing, etc., but I don't find company an inconvenience. Those projects that require singleton focus can always be set aside for another time.

On the social side, I like hanging around others with similar interests, but that rarely means operating. Hanging with others with similar interests is inspiring - and there is some peer pressure to build something for the next get together, so it helps move things forward.

Currently, I'm trying to do more of the latter just to broaden my knowledge and skills (even though it doesn't actually happen that often, except on Skype calls)
