I've dabbled in and out of the hobby since 1968. Research was A LOT SLOWER then. Now you just google something and find the information you want. Then you had spend time at the library, talk to other modelers if you could find any, filter the prejudices from the facts. Now you google something and find the information you want. The most positive change from my perspective was mentioned above. You can get on line and visit with the Joe Fugate's, the Fundy Northern's (I don't know how to spell his last name either!), the Andy Sperandeo's, etc. You can get your information so much faster. It's great! I was at my LHS recently and participated in a discussion with several other local area modelers. I said something which must have betrayed my identity. One of the other fellows asked, "Are you Ed Briley?" I owned up to the fact that I was (am). He turned out to be a fellow I had visited with on the web at length just a few days before. It's a great time to be a model railroader! <br /> <br />Cheers, <br /> <br />Ed
