That qualifies as "Other types of modeling" IMHO! Cast yer vote! Nope, not a nerd!

Where are my pants?
The spouse and I are into much the same. We've set aside an entire "hobby room" for all this crap....though we stick mostly to weaponry.

I have boxes and boxes of trains and accessories. Mostly from the 60's. Different scales. My moms friend who had a son lost interest long time ago and she gave them to my mom for me when I would be old enough to enjoy them. I never had a big enough area to set them up completely for an extended period of time. When I build by new home, I will have the room to set it up right and let my son's have fun with it.

I have S, HO, and N trains and the track to run them on. In HO, I have a 16 x 16 loft over the garage which is pretty much filled with a permanent, highly detailed HO layout. If I recall correctly, it's like 5 scale miles of track.
I did have an N scale layout, but had to tear it down when we remodeled the house (needed the storage space).
Kathy's condition now precludes spending the hours needed for model railroading, either in the loft or in the shop (where the N scale layout once was). I'm trying to gently coerce her into letting me have a small N scale layout inside the house here. We'll see about THAT, eh?
The S scale set was manufactured by American Flyer in 1957, the year I was born. That set is packed away and will probably stay that way. I got everything working perfectly before I packed it away, though.
So now I'm into scale models and model rockets, because I can work on either right here in the house. (As a matter of fact, today would be a good day to slip over to Dorsey Park for another launch!)

It's too late for me to vote in the poll, but I am into model railroading. I have a 24x32 foot layout in my basement.

No, not too detailed, it is supposed to be a good starter home for beginners (It is called "The Willow"). However, it takes alot more detail than I anticipated. I think I should have started with something a little smaller. I am having fun with it though. It is just taking longer than I thought it would.
