    Are you a train runner? A collector? A model builder? An electrician? A historian? An entertainer? A leader of a group? A prototypical operator? A photographer or movie maker? A storyteller? A day-dreamer with visions of artistic expression or realistic duplication?

    Share YOUR why. N Scale model railroading can be a big investment of time, money, energy, and thought-process. What kindles the flame of motivation within you?

    Dare to share your dream or vision? In your lifetime, what would you imagine as the pinnacle of your model railroading career?

    — Train runner, collector, model builder, electrician / technician, a photographer, can make movies, and an engineer (electro-mechanical).

    I like physics, worked for the road, section, extra gang then section again before military service - and after communications engineer working on Point to Train system(s).

    Update: No Surprise “JM” asked 14 Questions to ask 1

    And he didn’t provide an answer to his own “why”!

    At heart, I am, always was, always will be “a story teller”.

    An example of this I published on our NRail Channel:

    And this one:

    And honestly I believe EVERYONE has many stories to tell. Tune in for this month’s ZoomTRAK where we begin to unpack “50 Years of NTRAK” stories.

    Please keep this thread going: What is YOUR story, your WHY?

    I have loved trains for as long as I can remember and got into N scale so I could maximize my train to space ratio.

    I think the pinnacle of my model railroading "career" is going to be the restoration of the Cotton Brute.

    Larry Card, I love your Cotton Brute reference. Having just left Amherst, I was witness to many reactions of joy including “tears of joy” like seeing a long lost friend. You did GOOD!
