[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by tpaulsen You purchase what you want or what you can afford. You get it to operate smoothly, you build up a train consist, you run it down the track. You are a model railroader. The fools that need to put a price tag on whether or not they are modellers is their problem, not yours or mine. I build what I want, I still scratchbuild things I cannot find or cannot afford to purchase. My trains match my era, my old diecast (very re-detailed) Mantua and Varney locomotives (some Bowser as well) run like swiss clocks. I am a model railroader. No one can ever convince me that I am not. This is a hobby. There is no right way. There is no guru of all knowledge. There is just enjoying yourself, enjoying what you have created, and having the time of your life doing it. Let those that criticize the things that make this hobby fun for us, as individuals, take a swim in Stoddard Solvent. This may be considered a somewhat strident response and I appologize to those thin-skinned critics who may take offense. Model railroading is fun! Tom [/quote] No offense taken =)
