I'm both a ham radio nerd and a model train stud (that's the correct term I think). Not long ago there was a special ham radio station commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Pennsylvania & Reading railroad. I made a contact with it and soon received this neat certificate. My favorite certificate for any ham radio event thus far.  Attachments:

Ham radio and former CBer, I play bass and guitar, but I played semi pro for years. I still listen to vinyl records, but I don't see that as a hobby since I grew up listening to them.
Does going to Walmart and laughing at the Walmartians count?

That's one of the best QSL cards I've ever seen! Me too. It’s stunning. I didn’t pay for a paper copy but I printed it out so just as good. |

Does playing guitar and model railroading count. Sure does. I play guitar as well and got into making cigar box guitars. Too many hobbies but it keeps me out of trouble. |

Great card there! I always see ham license plates around town. (VE3) Yours reminds me of the layout passes model railroaders used to exchange (or still do?). I have an old center-console fishing boat I’ve been working on for summer distraction, but have been sidetracked by working on our club’s old Lionel window display at a local heritage park. Winter is for my O layout, so I’m a basement dweller in the cold weather. When I get up from the layout for a stretch I have a guitar and and old standup bass I occasionally make noises with.

Two hobbies among others which cannot be combined are collecting trains and saving money.

I've got too many Hobbies and collecting stuff. Many I gave up, some are slowly dissolving by giving and selling off.

I like to dabble in photography and videography and I enjoy collecting Invicta watches, along with attending and participating in sporting events, although I’m retired from competing.
But model trains has always been my favored hobby in addition to performing stud service.
