You are right in one respect, I use to spent too much time on THIS forum arguing with idiots. But I enjoy it. Some of you are such dorks. Keep up the good work.

It's a hobby not a job. That's what makes it fun. Reply Edit Anonymous Member sinceApril 2003 305,205 posts Posted by Anonymous on Thursday, December 11, 2003 2:35 PM Thanks for the tip on the Yesterland layout. I found a couple of website that had some pictures. I also found the Yesterland article in the May 2001 MR at the local library. It really looks like a fun layout. On other issues... I started this thread in the first place, and the last thing I wanted to do was generate any arguments or disagreements. I was just trying to find examples of a particular modeling approach, only one of many ways to go about things. As I was leafing through the rest of that issue, I happened to notice something else that applies to this whole thread. Here it is. -------------------- Excerpt from the “Trains of Thought” column by Tony Koester - MR, May 2001 "One of the things that makes model railroading so challenging is that we all approach it differently. I doubt that there are two model railroads, even if built from the same track plan, that look much alike. Your preferences, resources, heritage, skills, knowledge and primary objectives are quite different from my own. We shouldn’t be surprised when we find someone enjoying our hobby in a way that seems at odds with our own views.” Reply Edit 12 Subscriber & Member Login Login, or register today to interact in our online community, comment on articles, receive our newsletter, manage your account online and more!
