Although I am a "city boy" I worked in rural areas for years and married a "farmer's daughter". I sometimes laugh when I see and hear what "city people" think. A few years ago on the TV show Providence a cow escaped from the packing plant. The cow was a Holstein( not sure of spelling, pronounced WHOLE steen), which is a breed that is strickly used for dairy, not for steaks. My wife and I laughed through most of the episode, expecially since Sid's dad in the show was supposed to be a veteranarian. You'd think he'd know the difference ;-). I've seen modelers make similar errors. One of the most common is cattle on the layout near the track with no fences. I saw that on the layout of a nationaly known modeler. I also remember a cover scene on an issue of MR years ago that featured a tractor trailer rig as well as trains. An issue or two later a modeler who happened to be a professional truck driver had a letter in RPO explaining how that semi could never have backed into that loading area, etc. We all have gaps in our knowledge so a formum like this can be very helpful. Also, via la Far Side!
