There’s also the notion that eastern cultures promote – help-
ing the entire group succeed rather than just the individual.
Individuals succeeding at the expense of the advancement of
the group is seen as unhealthy and not to be encouraged.
Applying all this to model railroading, start by remembering
this
is a hobby,
and as such the focus needs to be on entertainment
and personal artistic achievement, rather than keeping score.
Succeeding as a group rather than just an individual can also
apply here. So you aren’t any good at weathering, you say?
Well then, find one of your model railroading buddies who is
better at weathering than you and partner with him.
Maybe you can become good at weathering by learning from a
buddy who is better at it than you? Or if you are all thumbs no
matter what, then trade some skill you are good at in exchange
for him doing some weathering on your layout?
