开云体育Hi Marshall,
?
I am not sure if I have a “fear” of failure. Yes – I get a lot of things
wrong, however typically there is no harm done, and just a matter of doing it a
second time, and hopefully better? As you say “ it took me a few tries before I
got it the way I wanted it.” – an appropriate statement!
?
At the end of the day, it is a hobby, and something you should enjoy doing
for relaxation and having a good time!
?
Cheers
Bruce

I have several theories on this but the preeminent two are a "fear of failure" and "it is not a priority". ?
I hear the same excuses and we know, from experience, these are not true. I
feel all we can do, is make it appear to be some much fun that they overcome the
fear or make it a priority to have fun with us. The one thing I caution everyone on is to not add
to the excuses. Give positive reinforcement to overcome the
excuses.

I don’t have the time - I only spend a few minutes a day, I want to keep
the family.
?
I don’t have the money - neither do I, that is why I like to use "whatever"
and save money.
?
I don’t have the knowledge or skill-sets to be able to build a model
railway - No one does without trying, it took me a few tries before I got it the
way I wanted it.
?
I don’t have the room at home to store or operate a model railway - I build
small layouts in shoe boxes, it's great fun!

On a side note, have WE seen this layout you speak of?!?!?

Now I emphasise that this was a group of model railway people, and not the general public. I found it interesting (or disturbing?) the reasons some visitors gave for not being actively involved with an operating model railway. These include: I don’t have the time. I don’t have the money. I don’t have the knowledge or skill-sets to be able to build a model railway. I don’t have the room at home to store or operate a model railway. ? I don’t want to get into debate on the validity of all the reasons that surface on why something cannot be done, however I do sense this reluctance for many modellers to take the first step towards a model railway project. Model railways, can be any size, and can be built to any budget. What I feel is more important, is that you design a project which is easily achievable, and complements your personal situation. I regularly make mistakes with my modelling work. If it doesn’t look right, just re-do it. If you stick with basic materials, the cost is insignificant! I find every attempt of re-doing something, you quickly learn to improve your skills! I feel the most important aspect is that you enjoy what you are doing, find your hobby relaxing, and you are proud of your work. I know that everyone will have different levels of abilities, however you can only improve with “hands-on” work. ? Cheers Bruce ? ?
