[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by TonyWalsham</i> <br /><br />I'd be willing to bet the majority of LS'ers never came "up" from a smaller scale as in proper scale. <br />As there are two distinct branches of "scale" modelling, (mainline and narrow gauge) I firmly believe very few LS mainline modellers came up from the smaller scales. <br />If they previously had any other trains most likely they were HiRail and/or Tinplate. Many never had any trains at all but came into LS via the garden. Understandably they don't worry too much about having proper scale mainline models. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Tony, <br /> <br />This fact may very well be so, however, I am making the point that as people, like myself, who have come from other SCALES enter Large Scale there might me a change in the Large Scale market so profound as to effect the production of equipment. <br /> <br />For example, if many people bring their fastidious attention for scale, as many HO and N modelers find themselves preoccupied, to Large Scale, will that trend effect what comes out of the manufacturers? <br /> <br />I am willing to overlook and make SCALE limited scale concessions because I am a lover of trains and understand that I am doing my best with the available tools. I can “distort” my perception to accept the beauty of what I have built. Others in other scales may lack this trait. This is the question I propose. <br />
