>>>> When the NMRA did wake up and say they wanted to establish G scale standards last year, the manufacturers told them to stuff it. I wasn't aware that the manufacturers told the NMRA that they wouldn't support any G scale standards; however, I know a lot of G scale modelers are very passionate on this topic. I sense that there is a concern out in the G scale community that if the NMRA were to establish a set of G scale standards then a lot of existing equpiment might not be compatible with the standards; and, if the manufacturers were to start conforming to these standards then new products may not be compatible with old products. It wouldn't surprise me if the the G scale manufacturers chose to ignore the NMRA since I'm sure a lot of these passonate G scale modelers made their feelings known. I'm relatively new to this hobby; and, I'm not smart enough to know if these are valid concerns or not. However, I do think the NMRA did a poor job of selling the G scale community on the benefits of standards. In fact, their biggest mistake may have been going to the manufacturers in the first place. They need to sell the G scale community at large and then have them demand that the manufacturers conform to standards. Jon
