Okay, Dave, you have addressed my concerns and you can count on getting another member. I'll be happy to join the BTOC as well as the new LGB club. I'm always interested in gaining information from as many diverse sources as possible, so it sure can't hurt to join both groups. <br /> <br />I'm still having a hard time understanding the animosity some seem to feel toward LGB, at least as expressed on this and some other forums (as don the "Yes, Virginia, there is LGB at the North Pole" thread here, to cite just one example). LGB spurred the hobby of garden railroading in the U.S., has always offered high-quality products, and provides, along with Marklin, what I believe to be the best service of anyone in the Large Scale segment of the hobby. I'm just not sure what they might have done to earn the kind of treatment I see displayed by some participants here and elsewhere (obviously few in number, but quite vocal). I suppose that's why I use the term "sour grapes"--I can't logically attribute it to anything other than a "my brand is better" kind of mentality. I see enough of the "brand wars" kind of thing in O gauge, and really hate to see that small-minded perspective invade what has traditionally been the most friendly and accepting segment of model railroading.
