Unbelievable! I can't even imagine that happening - ever. Looks like you got a raw deal with a nutter on his bad day. I'm beginning to wonder if there are any of those anal-retentive rivet counters left in these forums because it sounds to me like all of you guys are fed up with them :-). Personally it bores me silly to have someone go on and on about minor details and things that don't matter in the great scheme of things, like I have to know all this crap anyway. At our last AMRA convention here in New Zealand there was a guy who presented a whole clinic on freelance railroad modelling. I didn't attend the clinic (didn't find out about it until too late) but I saw some of his models. Brilliant! An SD80 or 90 (???) painted in Milwaukee colors amongst some other totally dreamed up models, and it looked damn fine to me. Now this guy is one of the most outspoken, loudest members of the American modelling community in NZ so no-one would dare ever diss one of his models to his face let alone smash it. Now obviously not everyone's big and has a loud voice with charisma and ego to match but if more modellers just went ahead and did just what they wanted instead of conforming just to keep the RR police from picking them to bits, we'd all be enjoying tthe hobby to the full. Ignore them I say. They're just nerds when you flake the thin vineer of useless knowledge away. Like NTDN was saying, jokes, spoofs, eye-catchers are all good and they grab attention. They make the hobby fun. The public like seeing things that are a bit different at the shows too.
