Why not?? turn right here instead of driving ahead and going around the block to get to the same place we are now and turn left to get back where we were to start all over and ask the same question, Why not??

Why not?

Well, let's see.

Because the prototype didn't do it that way.

Because not enough people would buy it to justify such a product.

Because nobody's fingers are nimble enough to work on cars that small.

Because nobody has that much room for a layout.

Because a "Big Boy" wasn't designed to run on 15" radius track.

Because DCC is obviously the wave of the future.

Because I can't make out what you're trying to say for all the misspellings and poor grammar.

Because I freelance my pike, I DON'T HAVE TO IF I DON'T WANT TO!

Because it violates Union Pacific's licensing policy.

Hopefully this clarifies the matter for you.


Very Thoughtful, yet provoking but begs the question to be asked:

WHY?

My Junior High School music instructor used to say that when he asked the question "why?" we were simply to respond with "because." So I guess the answer to your question would have to be "because not."
