model railroading internet burnout?
Anyone into model RR incurring this ?.. Used to be you’d wait for newest MRer or RRModel Craftstman magazine to appear on the shelves. This would hold your modeling interests for a month and then pass on or buy newest one. Now ,having visited a seemingly endless amount of pics,videos,stories,layouts, how-tos, of scores of fellow RRers ,I seem to have lost interest. The net train-forums have virtually burned me out..Maybe ceasing visits to these forums will (oddly) help..U2?
No. What I do is take a break and see what else is new. If you feel burnt out, why not take a walk around town and take some pictures of old store fronts and alleys? Most times we forget trains run behind buildings not in front of them. While I was living in Idaho, I would go to different towns and take pictures of the “wrong” side of the tracks. One time, I had to explain to a local sheriff what I was doing. I got out my NMRA and Eagle Rock RR Historical Society membership cards, he just smiled and said, ” You weren’t telling a tall tale.” Only in America! Now that we’re back East, we take time to visit any train shows or Rail museums.The hard part for me was dis-assembly and rebuilding my layout. Try having a 21 year Navy career on top of being a model railroader.Never be afraid to share your favorite tricks of tips!
