If there ISN'T room for everyone's preferences, the hobby is in more trouble than we think. Ours is not like so many "other" hobbies...there's a huge diversity of approaches we can take. Someone who buys RTR equipment, but builds excellent scenery, buildings, or electrical control systems, or who faithfully runs a timetable and \ or a car forwarding system IS certainly a model railroader. But if there's no layout, and the models are in a display case, they may be a "collector" instead....[:0] Someone who scratchbuilds or kitbashes extremely detailed rolling stock, but isn't so great at doing backdrops or who has crude-looking trees, is still a model railroader, as long as there's a layout and track involved. Otherwise, they may be a "model-builder" instead.....[:X] What difference should it make to us as individuals whether we are everything that some self-styled "expert" decides we should be ? Where's the fun in having to adhere to some sort of "checklist" of values and choices ?[?] regards Mike
