QUOTE: Originally posted by SpaceMouse I just read an editorial falshback from 1944 about the art of deception. It states that (if we do our part as modelers) we can imagine the prototype and get lost in the prototype world. I just see really cool models. I knew I was defective.
QUOTE: Originally posted by JnM Lines I am excellent at deceiving myself. Now you say, if I just imagine... I think I can save a lot of money this way. Seriously though, I can understand how one could become engrossed, or lost, in the modeled world. For me this is one of the enticing aspects of mrr. A chance to creat a historic situation with a hint of fiction. Where and what did you read? Respectfully, Jacob

QUOTE: Originally posted by Don Gibson MOUSE: Having an engine pulling cars as though they are real requires IMAGINATION, (not Deception). THINKING they're real is Deception. Would your wife be happier if you played with Doll's? (Don't mention size - no no.) Have you made it to Gilbert's in Gettysberg yet?
QUOTE: Originally posted by Jetrock I can't imagine that you don't get a taste of that, SpaceMouse... Is that not what a skilled model railroad tries to evoke--not just a collection of models, but a sense of place and time?
