Trains Model Railroad
Are there any women involved in Model Railroading?
My buddy has been telling me that this is a “really cool” hobby to get into. I asked him if any women are involved or if it’s just a bunch of dudes playing with trains? I don’t think my lady would be too happy with me getting involved in this hobby if it is just a male thing. Are there any tips you have for getting the women involved??? (note: It doesn’t help that she finds my “railroading” buddy weird and nerdy) Thanks in advance
I’ve been involved with model railroading for about 20 years, on and off. While we occasionally hear of women in the hobby in the pages of Model Railroader magazine, I must say I have met only one or two women in the hobby. And yes, through my involvement with local and national organizations, I have discovered that many model railroaders are indeed nerdy, geeky, and occasionally malodorous. Keep in mind that you don’t have to work with other people or get involved in clubs. Many model railroaders enjoy working on their hobby alone or just with family.
