Founded by myself, 1975!
How are we going to get new recruits, when we ourselves are being priced out of the hobby!! Take your trains out of the box and play with them! That's why they were made!
QUOTE: Originally posted by Dr. John There was a time when you were not considered a "serious" model railroader unless you scratchbuilt everything! (with tongue planted firmly in cheek . . . ) Cast your own locomotive shells Wrap the copper wire to create your own motor cores Chop down trees, and mill your own lumber for benchwork create your own formula for glue and paint as you scratchbuild each structure Form your own rail, cut your own ties, quarry your own ballast . . . At some point, you can take any hobby a little TOO seriously!
