Why do all you people out there weather like there's no tomorrow ? I mean , most of this stuff looks like it should be in a junk yard not on a set of rails ! The same seems to hold true for scenery . Man ! some of the trashest places seemed to get modeled . Growing up in the transitional era , I can tell you - it never looked that bad all over . How come every one seems to want to model a ghetto ? You know , some of us grew up in houses that were painted & didn't have blistered , chipped , cracked , or generally deteriorated walls , roofs , & surroundings . I think that the perception that any thing old was a junk is a falsehood brought on by media coverage of current conditions . Damn ! the place really didn't look that bad ! Honest ! ! Let's give society a break here . Those that came before us weren't total slobs ! As a matter of fact , if you look at proto. pic's , you will find most of the areas were taken care of better than they are today . People of past times were more image oriented than they are currently . Basically we're slobs . Look at the dress when these people would go out to shop or travel . They wore there best clothes ; unlike today - ever seen the attire of the folks who travel coach or 2nd class airfare lately . Give the people & the times a break . Get real if your going to be a proto. modeler / freelancer / protolancer. Those people wore dress shoes , not joggers .
