[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by ab1rab The ten foot rule idea is rot. IF your eyesight is still 20/20, you can count scale rivets from ten feet in 1/20.3. You can see every board on a boxcar. People talk about the ten foot rule, but they mean a myopic ten feet, or an eyes shut ten feet, or an I don't give a cuss ten feet. Ten feet scales out to 200 feet in reality. You can see a half inch target at 200 feet . You can see if your wife looks angry or unhappy at 200 feet. At 200 yards you can easily recognize a human face. If you don't care about detail or accuracy, fine, you don't have to, but pretending that detail or scale fidelity is somehow made irrelevant by watching your train run by at long range is just self delusion. By the way, how can you uncouple cars from ten feet away? [/quote] Nice " introductory post ", ab 1 rab ,...Did you just get here from the Atlas forum, or did you learn your nastiness the old-fashioned way ? I don't clearly see a half-inch target at 200 feet, or easily recognize a human face at 200 yards...I don't particularly think I'm myopic, but I know who I don't like...and you are the newest member of that exclusive club. Mike
