They are "mighty interesting" and as soon as I calmed down enough - no reason me getting upset, I quit the NMRA 20+ years ago - I started to laugh. Basically they don't even have the basics down. But that doesn't bother me a bit I follow the NEM standards. At least those guys understand that the track gauge is 45.00mm and being as it's an inside measurement the tolerance will go to the +. NMRA would have us believe that the Gauge is somewhere between 1.750" and 45.00mm with the tolerance going "wherever". [:-^][:-^] Dixie

Got so burned and angry I hung up the hobby for about 5 years. When I very tenatively got back into the hobby about four years ago, I Lone Wolfed it for about a year and a half, got onto this forum and have since been to a few LS events, meet some fellow large scalers and have been slowely coming out of the wolf den and into the forest again. I still an very very Lone Wolf at the LHS (HO mostly), but a lot more open at the LS shops like San-Val. Still taking a while to get over that burn...
