The Social Part of the Hobby - New Friends

Common interests draw people together and the hobby of model railroading is no different. A few days ago a nice man I met on the nScale.net forum decided to travel 85 miles to visit and spend the day talking trains. Another fellow I met from the Railwire forum came down from Mt Laurel to join us. Both men bought one of their engines along to run on my layout. We had a great time together.

 

 

Since they were traveling so far I wanted to make their trip worthwhile so I called another friend and asked if we could also come visit his "little" layout (24'x36'!). He also called one of his regular operating crew to join us. At least 4 of us had a great time. The other gentleman spent a lot of time trying to find a short so I can't vouch for his pleasure quotient

 

 

 

The hobby is fun, the people make it better!
