[quote user="Paul3"] <p>Man, I really wouldn't worry about it. Obviously a troll. Probably a kid (seriously...who uses the word "dork" after high school?). Totally jealous. Ignore it. In fact, if it was me, I'd delete this thread here because I wouldn't want to give them the satisfaction of knowing that I even read their useless diatribe, but that's your call.</p><p>IMHO, what really drives away people from the hobby is 1) cheap equipment that doesn't work very well. Train set stuff, IOW. 2) the skills required to build a model railroad. Some people just don't have 'em, and don't want to learn 'em. 3) a lack of knowledge of prices & value. IOW, newbies take one look at a BLI steamer at $400 and gasp...meanwhile there's a perfectly good Bachmann Spectrum 2-8-0 for under $100, or a P1K diesel for $75, or an Athearn BB for $55.</p><p>Free lancers and prototypers are near the bottom of the list of reasons why not to be a model railroader. Pure rubbish, IOW.</p><p>Paul A. Cutler III<br />************<br />Weather Or No Go New Haven<br />************</p><p>[/quote]</p><p>Hahaha...I think otherwise! I thnk he is a lonely bitter old man who had nothing else better to do since there is nothing else to work on his layout because it's been modeled to perfection and already looked just like the real thing! LOL</p>
