I took Jordan’s message to mean “LEGO train club builder’s don’t have to
spend a lot of time or pieces on actual trains”. His message clearly goes
on to say that as a non-train guy we’ve got him thinking that an LTC might be
a good home for him. And Jordan was right on the absolute scale about the
quantity of pieces -- I doubt there is an LTC anywhere that does a show with
more pieces in the trains than in the scenery. We can easily put 15,000
pieces in one building but I think any club would be challenged to get 15,000
pieces on the tracks!

Perhaps. But to me it’s not about absolute number of pieces, it’s about build
time per model. A good train model can take a lot of time. (Time does NOT equal
pieces). My mountain has 25x as many pieces as my combine model but took me a
lot less time to build, and even then much of the mountain build was rote rather
than really creative stuff.
That said I agree with what I cut away from your post.
