[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by iandor I really don't careabout scale, I mainly just run my trains to drink by and also for my friends to drimk by. After a while it really doesn't matter about scale or about anything really; particularly after dark on a hot night and aren't they all like that. I din't come to Garden railways from any other gauge, I came from yachting. But my knees were going and I wasn't safe any more in a rough seaway. Also I have retired and could not afford that expensive unexpected costs, like $2,700 for a new propeller etc. So I guess the need for fidelity to scale is all in the eyes of the beholder and the person paying the bills. Sorry I haven't been contributing much lately but its school holidays here and I have little visitor taking up my time, I'm lucky it isn't several little visitors as I have 11 grandkids of various ages and genders. Regards Ian; Kawana Island T ropical Railway. [/quote] Ian, Welcome back to the forum. Your absence has been keenly felt, but kudos on your little visitor(s). I sometimes detest having to leave the little one(s) to go to a damnable job. Don’t get me wrong, I do love my job, but I sometimes feel a bit guilty about leaving my wife and 8 month old daughter to drive from Premont, Texas to Kingsville, Texas (about 30 miles) to teach a group of school children of whom only about 75% ever pay attention. I enjoy this 75% and they are what keep be going, but the 25% of students who seem to only live to berate and destroy the integrity of the Teacher. Ian, 25% of the students I teach are self-destructive, priorities all messed up, hate all authority and, most of all, their parents. That is what scares me. That is partially why the layout is going to be built. A place to bond with my daughter so that the teenage “weaning” years (where nature seems to pull one’s child away from you and into complete a revolution that George Washington, Napoleon Bonaparte or Gandhi could not cope with) wont be so bad. That is why you need not apologize for spending time with loved ones, especially children and grandchildren. Good Luck and God Bless,
