I don't understand Armstrongs book..

[ereimer]

the problem is obviously that the version of the book and the version of the user are not compatible . the book is too new and the user is too old ! [:D]

if you had the same version i have (5th printing , 1973 . still has the $3.50 price tag on the front!) you'd have no problem understanding it

I think you need to take the inverse of the contents, Jarrell. If you multiply them by the reciprocal, or 1/X, you will get the true value of Armstrong's book.

By the way, PLEASE tell me that you aren't holding that revered text in the sinister hand? That could set a whole nuther chain of events into motion and your layout could end up looking like a Leggo project.

I can tell from your picture, the answer is painfully obvious.

Your not wearing your train shirt. You do have a train shirt, don't you?

Also try skipping all the big words and just look at the pictures.

Jarrell,

No one understands Armstrongs book...We all just pretend to and then build what we want.......You're the first to actually admit it....

Or.....You got the mac version....it wont run on your software......

Or....I'm waiting for the movie version...

Or...You need the hardback edition....

Or.....The foldout is in upside down...

Well these are pretty lame........I'll quit now

I read Armstrong like I used to read Baba Ram Das. Read a page, then think about it the rest of the day.

Ahhhh..it IS Greek. Being the Model Railroad equvalent to Aristotle and Plato and Socrates (minus the hemlock), John Armstrong ALWAYS wrote in Greek, so as to appear more scholarly - especially around the 'snoots' who didn't feel this hobby is 'intellectual' enough.

I got it. Jarrell, I think I found the problem!!!

From the looks of the picture, I think you got the Southern Hemisphere edition of the book. If you fly down to Australia the book will make sense.

Just tryin' to hepp.

I appreciate that, Adelie. It looked sorta like Greek to me.

Hmm.........Whats wrong here? Sorry for the distraction, I just responded to an incident involving a attractive, extremely, upset female that as her anger increased so did the state of her undress until almost nothing remained. Now Back to the subject, have you tried reading it back to front?

I've read it and reread it and I just don't get it!

Ok, so I'll read it again while the glue dries on the foam.
