<p>I dont know anything about the pretty boy stuff. But I have seen cases where truckers have paid 4000 dollars for Chrome and later discovered over the phone long distance because thier kid is sick and need medicine for 300 dollars. I dont know.</p><p>I have seen one or two people in Living History (Civil war) where alot of money is spent on the uniform and equiptment. To the public that Rifleman wearing a expensive outfit looks just like another one who may be wearing home spun at 100 yards during a battle demonstration. But to the others inside the Infantry company who are in close proximity to the one who is spending alot of money.. well.. there probably is some tension.</p><p>I have stood in line of battle wearing second hand materials and holding a borrowed rifle. I did not look any different than the one next to me who has a weapon that is orginal and is maintained very well and wearing hundreds of dollars in costume for a specific Officer or soldier that actually existed in history.</p><p>Trains is expensive too. But it is a activity where you can do it by yourself or you can share a little bit with others who are of the same feather as they say. All are welcome, regardless if they make minimum wage part time or enjoy a multi million income from bank interest. Let's just focus on running trains and teach each other things that are useful.</p>
