enjoyable parts of RR modelling

[dl85vette]

With some new members time for fun questions. hopefully it hasn't been covered.. a) What's your funnest part of RR modelling? b) What's the worst part of modelling? a) best- building industrial structures and customizing locos and rolling stock. b) worst- doing scenery and ballasting

[ginzokid]

A) Building structures and running trains. B) Scenery. Messy and I just can't make it look right!

[crazyd37]

a) best- structure building b) worst- decals

[nascarpetlover]

Best - Working on model railroad on any part of it. Building building's and detailing in general especially. Worse - Not working on the model railroad. In general totally. Lou PS But life in general interfere's with the pleasure's of man (and woman).

Best-roadbed and track laying Worst-plastering

[untabubba]

Best = Running trains, wiring up remote turnouts (and having them work!) Worst = Completing scenery! (Total lack of self-confidence in my design abilities! Marc

best-all of it worst-all of it Punk

[untabubba]

Punk, I hear you! To adapt an old phrase: "Trains, can't live with them, won't sell them!" Marc

[beastranger]

I have a new worst--painting the lines on N-scale streets. Punk

[dl85vette]

Best- buying rolling stock and locos Worst- Can't run it all on layout. How do you guys do it with several dozen locos as far as collecting/running?

[untabubba]

Sometimes I run all U P, sometimes I run Reading / PRR, sometimes I run B&O and C&O. I just pretend to change locations. I am in no way any kind of "authentic" modeller, let alone a devotee of any one flag! Best = running three trains at once Worst = having to clean up after a major derailment Marc

[beastranger]

best-seeing scenery come to life worst-the mess Punk

[spottzz]

Punk, Go to a car dealer or auto painting shop and get some pin stiping for your road lines. Bill

[spottzz]

Punk, That is "striping".

[vickies_variety_shoppe]

Bill would say the best is running the trains! I love doing scenery! The worst is not having enough time to do either. And you can get pin stripe tape usually at any of the bigger auto parts stores, or stores that sell automotive refinish supplies. We have a lot of pinstripe tape. Bill is in the car repair business.
