[quote user="CNJ831"][quote user="Walleye"] It has been fun baiting you. and for that I apologize. It really wasn't proper behavior, and the fact that you present yourself as such a tempting target doesn't justify my sarcasm. But now it's time to move on. I've got better things to do: I'm going to go play with my trains.[/quote]Attaboy, Walleye, you go play with your trainset, while I go and operate my model railroad, you know, the aspect that's the adult hobby. CNJ831[/quote]My, my, my - how some people enjoy arguing about opinions.  Your way isn't the only way.  This is a free country, and people can enjoy this hobby anyway they want to, and that includes enjoying it without enduring someone else's derision because they haven't "evolved" their techniques to suit your particular tastes.  My layout is seven flat sections representing locales in Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota and North Dakota, with enough hills, forests and a few cuts to make things interesting and break-up the "flatness", and plenty of low-level detail.  Who is to decide whether my lack of a mountain range, or the fact that I have only one mossed-over pond instead of the rippling stream with a fly-fisherman you see in practically every MR issue, or my lacking a scratch-built basswood trestle, makes my layout not a layout but a "train set"?  The simple fact that you labor on it, you put thought into it, you plan, you design, you fail and try again until you get the right look, and you do the best you can do with the time and money and abilities you have makes it a model railroad.
