This Will Bring the "Engineer" in You

So the train interest shown by Sheldon on Big Bang is not just a physicist's thing.

Very good - now we'll find out who all at CR4 is into model railroading.

I learned engineering by building a model railroad when I was a teenager. I not only drove the train, I laid the track and built the town and did the landscaping. In high shcool my majors were art and electronics. You would think they were polar opposites. With model railroading I was able to merge the two disciplines. I was doing a hands on "Sim City" in the days before the computer game.

Think Leonardo Da Vinci. Seems a natural fit for some.

I have a model railroad, very nicely wired, like one of the control panels I design at work, but it seldom runs. I spend most of my time on the buildings and the scenery. Art first - engineering second during days off.

Speaking of art and engineering - have you ever seen pictures of Rod Stewarts amazing railroad layout? He did almost all the work himself, when not on tour.
