GORGEOUS.............

That particular book provided a great deal of inspiration for my beginning  the rail way.  I just need to break it out again to get the inspiration needed to finish!!

Marty,

After reading this thread, I ordered one of the books.

Personally, I like the ads in GR and other railroad modeling magazines. To me, advertisements add value to the magazines by giving me information about products related to my hobby.

Of course, there should always be a balance. A magazine that is mostly ads with little original content would not be of interest to me, unless it was free!

You guys are sweet. I guess I feel like one of the "guys" in general. My dad manages a tire shop, so I grew up around things with wheels. I worked for him, on a farm, and helped with cutting/splitting wood at home, so I know how to get dirty. Working for a train magazine, in some ways, is simply an extension of that.

Marty, I didn't take offense to your comment. I know about your sense of humor, hee hee!

Believe me I meant it as a complement.

Rene doing what she does in a "mans world" of trains. I have great respect for.

I do too.

Me as a busness owner/operator, folks tend to lift me up higher than they should. The same with Marc H and Rene and who ever. My joking with her is viewing her as the person she is.

I hold you in some esteem because you've been a big help to me.

I see Kevin S ,Marc and Rene as people doing what they love to do.

I was hoping the thread title would brighten up her morning when she first read it.

 

I'm glad you brought this up so no one else will feel wronged.

I don't feel wronged. Rene is all grown up, she can take care of herself. There is a generation gap here, women were just finding their way into the workplace to the extent that I, as an XP tool & die maker, had to deal with them just before I retired. I suspect you view things much differently than I because of that. Had that thought occurred to me, I probably wouldn't have posted. I think we both agree she is a sweetheart of the first order, in the most chaste sense of the term.

 

 

hope this helps

No apologies needed or wanted. I hope the above explains my previous post.

Every once and ahwile I send Marc H. an e-mail just to see what hes working on, what he is iterested in on his RR. I don't want to be on the take all the time.

My wife Carrie knows I give complements with no exspectations behind it.

 

I'm glad you brought this up so no one else will feel wronged.

 

Years ago I had a large corperate company want to hire me, I worked for them for 1year.

I realized then that there is no "big guys", there are just men and women doing what they think they should.

I can sit and enjoy visiting with Lewis Polk about his grandson as well as with you or anybody.

 

hope this helps

Garden Railways..

 And you all thought this thread would be about Rene...

 

I love the book Marc and Pat put out.

 Was it a good saler? I don't know.

But its always by my bed stand for those nights I don't want to think.

 

I wish for GRYs 25th anv they should do a great GRRs like the baby scales do. With all types and sizes.

From around the country and the world.

Keep the adds to a min.

 

Maybe Rene can take this on and I'd be glad to donate to the cause.

Marty,

I have the greatest respect for you. You've answered many of my dumb questions. Sometimes twice, and you're an asset to this board.

Perhaps you're on a first-name basis with Rene, I have no way of knowing that. Perhaps Rene is 'one of the guys'. I'm still a newbie around here and I don't know how the water flows.

I found your opening line off-putting, because I happen to think she is a beautiful person, based only on a couple of posts and a like number of pixes.

Perhaps I'm oversensitive.

Respectfully,

Les W.
