Personal
Interview Survey Page 6
Do you like to build model railroads with friends, or prefer to be by yourself?
I think I answered that question. I don�t mind doing something by myself, but I really prefer to work with one or two others.
Are your spouse and family supportive of the hobby?
My wife has her hobbies and is supportive of mine but doesn�t participate much. My daughter likes trains, but she�s only 3 and is more suited to her Thomas wooden trains. My nephew is only 7 but he will want to help! My Dad can help, but really isn�t into the hobby the way I am.
Do you have a hobby budget?
I have an allowance of $XX per month that is mine to do with as I please. I also can negotiate other hobby purchases with my wife.
Have you considered the cost of building a layout and have discussed it with your family?
Yes. I�ve been buying supplies and equipment for years because of this. I have gallons of ground foam, rock molds and a bushel of Super Trees. I also have over 30 pieces of Atlas Code 83 flextrack and maybe 15 #6 switches. I have some bench materials accumulated and just about all the tools needed.
