<p> Quite an interesting discussion we have going on here - I just hope, it does not get out of hand.</p><p>You can lead a horse to the water, but you cannot make it drink. We cannot prevent anybody from making costly mistakes, unless he/she is willing to listen, to collect information from various sources and to communicate in an orderly manner.</p><p>I guess, we all started out with an oval made of snap track, a passing siding and a spur leading to whatever type of industry. We started to make scenery by covering a table top with something "green", put structures on it and glued some "trees" to it. In our days, the internet with its vast opportunities of information was not available, yet we learned - by reading a book or visiting a model railroading club. That´s the way I did it. Now we can share our knowledge, which we accumulated over decades. If we attach some small rules to the way we are prepared to share our knowledge with people who are asking us to do so, what´s so bad about it? IMHO, it is perfectly correct to expect properly articulated questions in a proper language, to expect feedback on the hints we give. We invite the posters asking questions to work with us - if he chooses not to, why bother to spend all the precious time in answering his questions? </p><p>BUT: We also have to learn to accept the fact, that not all members and guests in this forum thrive to become expert model railroaders. If they can get their fun out of that 4 by 8 with a loop or a figure 8 on it, so it be!</p><p>Enjoy! <br></p>
