Hi Capt Carrales <br />I can relate to the small scale side of things and thinking about it <br />have come to the following conclusions <br />Jealousy doesn't come in to it. <br />The NMRA's non standard comes in to it <br />They don't understand that our railways are in the real world so elephant proof rail is used as a matter of course and that a true "G" scale doesn't exist and even if it did a "G" fine scale model has no place in the garden <br />As they have far too many fiddely bits that break too worry about <br />I also think that the early Toy rather than semi scale and inconsistency between variouse manufacturers in our size has a lot to do with it. <br />I do wonder some times if the casual BBQ beer and social fun aspects of the Garden fraternaty are mistaken for not taking the hobby as seriously as we really do. <br />I also think the Garden railway people concentrate more on the pleasure <br />our hobby brings to ourselves our families and others <br />as apposed to the indoor boys. <br />I have seen a real rip snorter of a heated discusion over the correct valve gear for a particular locomotive. <br />A thing unlikley to happen in the garden world <br />well that must be at least 4c worth[:D] <br />regards John
