I find the skills I developed years ago when I was into O gauge (it was the dominant gauge in the 40's) apply just as well to my HO layout today. I find articles on most any gauge has application to any other gauge. I understand some folks get bent when the article does not specify their gauge regardless of how applicable the content is. You build a tree, the methodology works for all of us. You paint a car, we all learn from your efforts regardless of gauge. Ballasting track? Only the size of the material used will vary. Weathering? Hardly gauge specific. So not enough articles on N gauge? What is specific to your gauge that creates a need for special treatment? You wire your track just like the rest of us. DCC? Hardly gauge specific. If you really feel the need to gripe, why not focus on the availability of building kits, freight car kits, great running steam locomotives, things like that? But, then, I guess I do not understand that the lack of these things is the fault of MR. We are all model railroaders. None of us is more or less special than the next person because of the gauge we model in. If you need the boost of an "us N gaugers vs you HO gaugers" scenario, require the charge that comes from being in a certain group, I would suggest you have missed the point of the hobby entirely. I thought this hobby was to develop skills, learn creativity and have fun. Maybe even share ideas. Gosh, how stupid could I be? How uninformed? Go ahead. start your intergalactic war between the gauges if it brings you closure. <br /> <br />Tom
