The tools and materials are. <br /> <br />P.S. The gnomes made me write this!!

I, however, didn’t want to start another “Lexington and Concord” in the G Scale world. <br /> <br /> I concede that there needs to be a certain amount personal manufacturing in any of the scale, however, not everyone comes gifted with the same talent. I, for example, will require at least two years of trail and error before I will run any scratch built personally constructed “monstrosities” in my garden. It is at this stage that standardization is a paramount concern. Maybe my current position in the hobby taints my perspective, for this I beg your understanding. <br /> <br /> Aside from this, I feel it is an obligation of the manufacturers to at least attempt standards. I must, however, echo your revolutionary sprit when it comes to liberty… “NO STANDARDIZATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION!” <br /> <br /> As for the Gnomes, “don’t fire until you see the whites of their eyes!” <br />
