It's not a bad arrangement, though 

Hi Mike interesting video, its pretty sad when people say "aw gee I would never be able to anything like build a model railroad"  having been in the hobby for 40 odd years myself I have found that the more you do on a layout the better you get, even though I spent many years as a wedding photographer I thought I didn't have an artistic bone in my body.

My first layout was a bit toy like but I found being the "Jack of all Trades but Master of None"was an appropriate saying for myself, like everyone else I built scenery, did woodwork, electrical, and also mechanical work on locomotives, I don't consider myself an expert on any of these things but I know enough to fumble my way through.

As for the rivet counting I just let it go in one ear and out the other, I do however understand that there are various levels of expertise in this hobby and respect others that know a hell of a lot more than I do, as for fun I am having a ball studying the D&RGW, WP and modeling them in HO Scale and the Penn Central in N Scale.

What makes this hobby great is that people enjoy sharing technique and information with each other, I know I learned a lot from others and in doing so found a few ideas of my own, all part of the fun and learning.
