I don't think there is anything I don't like about model Railroading. Perhaps the one frustration is that I can think of at least 4 prototypes right off the top of my head that I would like to model, but to do justice to them, I would need 4 layouts which would mean a spare warehouse to put them in! It can be expensive, but when I started back into the hobby 20 years ago, I set aside $10.00 per week for hobby money, and after 20 years I have most of what I need to build a decent model railroad at home and have some nice equipment to run at club gatherings. Have I spent a lot of money on it? Probably, but at an average of $10.00 per week it is not money I've missed.
