Why Model Railroad?
As with any hobby, the obvious answer is because it's fun!
If you've made it this far, you're probably already interested in building a model railroad for some reason. But maybe you're still on the fence. After all, a model railroad requires an investment in time, money, and energy.
Family Oriented
We are constantly looking for things to do together, "as a family"
Building a model railroad is a great family-oriented hobby. Everyone can get involved and everyone can participate "together".
Every member of the family can be working on some part of things. Mom can be building this part, dad working on that, while the kids are working on something else..
Model Railroading is Educational
You probably don't want to tell your kids, but Model Railroading can be very educational. You can learn a whole range of things:
History
Railroads reflect the times they operated in, and vice versa.
Building a model railroad leads to learning about prototype railroads, their times and their settings.
Railroads were, and are, equally important in the histories of other countries.
Basic Carpentry and Electrical Skills
If you've never sawed wood or stripped some wire, You will!
Building a model railroad requires these skills.
You might think that they are "hard" -- they aren't, you just need to start down the path.
You'll be surprised how easy it is to pick them up!
