[quote user="richhotrain"] [quote user="Rastafarr"] My question is this. Are portrayals like this good or bad for the hobby? I understand that, to a degree, any exposure is good exposure, but are we being helped or hurt by Parsons's representation of a model railroader? <div style="clear:both;"></div> [/quote] I have never watched what seems to be an imbecilic program with a moron for a character. But, that said, I came across this photo of Sheldon. <a href="http://i672.photobucket.com/albums/vv90/richhotrain/sheldon_zps29b3eb8f.jpg"><img alt=" " src="http://i672.photobucket.com/albums/vv90/richhotrain/sheldon_zps29b3eb8f.jpg" border="0" /></a> Is this portrayal good or bad for the hobby? Well, based upon the sophistication of his layout, outstanding detail on the ballasting and landscaping, and that awesome engineer's cap, yes, this is a good and accurate portrayal of the hobby. In fact, it pretty much reminds me of everyone who has responded to this thread so far. <img src="/emoticons/icon_smile_newlaugh.gif" alt="Laugh" /><img src="/emoticons/icon_smile_newlaugh.gif" alt="Laugh" /><img src="/emoticons/icon_smile_newlaugh.gif" alt="Laugh" /><img src="/emoticons/icon_smile_newlaugh.gif" alt="Laugh" /><img src="/emoticons/icon_smile_newlaugh.gif" alt="Laugh" /><img src="/emoticons/icon_smile_newlaugh.gif" alt="Laugh" /><img src="/emoticons/icon_smile_newlaugh.gif" alt="Laugh" /><img src="/emoticons/icon_smile_newlaugh.gif" alt="Laugh" /><img src="/emoticons/icon_smile_newlaugh.gif" alt="Laugh" /><img src="/emoticons/icon_smile_newlaugh.gif" alt="Laugh" /><img src="/emoticons/icon_smile_newlaugh.gif" alt="Laugh" /><img src="/emoticons/icon_smile_newlaugh.gif" alt="Laugh" /><img src="/emoticons/icon_smile_newlaugh.gif" alt="Laugh" /><img src="/emoticons/icon_smile_newlaugh.gif" alt="Laugh" /><img src="/emoticons/icon_smile_newlaugh.gif" alt="Laugh" /><img src="/emoticons/icon_smile_newlaugh.gif" alt="Laugh" /><img src="/emoticons/icon_smile_newlaugh.gif" alt="Laugh" /><img src="/emoticons/icon_smile_newlaugh.gif" alt="Laugh" /><img src="/emoticons/icon_smile_newlaugh.gif" alt="Laugh" /> Rich <div style="clear:both;"></div> [/quote] Just see the sinister smile on his his face! Kind of reminds me of me, Christmas 1963.
