Hi, my name is Gridley and I'm an AE/Model Railroader...
"Hi, Gridley!"
...it has been three days since my last switching problem and two days since my last PBEM turn...
(Clapping)
N-scale for me, BTW.

I wonder if I can pack up the cars on the layout, and strat mode them to the otherside of the layout.....what would be the unpack/pack time on that?

I also am a model railroader. Just moved to a new house, planning the next train layout. In between AE turns of course!

My N scale trains are packed away in the attic, with no place to build a layout. The time and room will be there one day! [:)]

"Hello. My name is John and I am a WitP: AE Addict."
My FAMILY is in the design stages for a G-Scale RR around a pond/waterfall. The JPJ&C (John, Paula, John, and Chris) RR shall start to be born this summer. HAH! I've co-opted my wife into helping here! How is that for strategy?!!

Wow, I never realized how many of you guys are model railroaders. If I'd known that, I'd have started hanging out here a long time ago! [8D]

Same here, except with my HO-scale stuff. I have ~150 cars/locomotives and (at this point) nearly 500 feet of track waiting for me to put them on a table somewhere....

I believe what we are seeing here is a non-random association between AE players and model railroaders. I, for one, am a bit alarmed.[;)]
One of you math geeks do a Chi Square test or something.
The Null Hypothesis is that proportion of model railroaders in the general population is the same as that among the population of AE players. <throws down gauntlet>

Could be incomplete genetic penetration off a different locus from the same gene. Doesn't have to be a Mendellian heritability, Cap'n. These things are all carried on the Dorkwad/geekwad gene of which we are all, unfortunately, highly expressive.

It could certainly be X-linked too. We have very few female players (I think).
How many of you chaps have unibrows?

Probably. Are your ears oddly shaped too?

Thankfully I am not a model railroader. I build model planes, tanks and ships. I have a cat that loves to chew off the ends of gun barrels. I'm lucky to have two finished models at the same time.

Another thing... Playing Nippon Rails with my family tonight and I was loading Iron Ore at Hakodate to deliver to Osaka and was trying to calculate how many Aden's I would need...

LST - If you keep chasing those gals in that outrigger, you will never have enough time for Model Railroading, let alone WITP:AE! [:D]
