is finding the hobby. There’s every indication the new web-cen-
tric sources are doing a good job of picking up the slack from the
disappearing LHS for the next generation.
Modeling form or function?
There are different ways to enjoy the hobby of model railroad-
ing, for sure. If you look at what gets you the most excited about
the hobby, is it building the models, or is it running the trains?
For those who like running trains, do you consider yourself a
railfan, or an engineer? If you say engineer, then that generally
means you prefer to model the operational aspects of running
trains more than watching the trains roll by.
One way we find that’s helpful when making this distinction is to
talk about being a model railroader, or being a railroad modeler.
