YES! I could not agree with BOTH of you more! Pete, (pfd586) see my response to you regarding Live Steam engines. You sound like a closet steamer to me. :-) <br /> <br />It is first and foremost about FUN to me. What little scaling I do, I like to stay within reason, but my 1:22.5 Loco pulls a 1:24 consist. God forbid!!! <br /> <br />I love and appreciate a good artistic HIGHLY detailed layout. That SOMEONE else has built. My priority is the loco. A steam loco. The way the big ones are. <br /> <br />There are a LOT of different motives for getting into this hobby. I respect and admire ALL of them. And talent comes from all directions. <br /> <br />For me, I'd rather spend my $$$ on a high end steam loco than on wiring, labor to solder and join rails, and sound systems to imitate the sound my loco already makes on its own. In the end, I see the electric modelers spending about the same on these necessities that mine does not need. It comes out about the same in the end. <br /> <br />But then, those guys don't have to worry burnt fingers and oil all over the track. :-) <br /> <br />Peace, <br /> <br />LDH
