I actually think I hurt your feelings or something. I never said anything about a Rivet counter being "rude." Don't try to put text in my post. I did not intend to hurt your feelings in some way. I'm actually a little puzzled you are calling me "insecure" You don't know me at all! Simple point to this post. Try to remember that we are not encouraging people to join the hobby if we tell them what they are working with is junk or not accurate.

You don't see the TYCO guys coming here giving the Brass guys a hard time. :) [/quote] I call BS on that one... This thread is a good example... Rivet counters this, rivet counters that... I've found the "toy train" types far more rude than any rivet counters I've encountered... The toy train crowd is so insecure they feel the need to come here and whine how the BIG BAD rivet counter pointed something out and get sympathy from other people.. BOO HOO. If you're that insecure you need more help than anybody on an internet forum could give. There's room for everyone in the hobby be it historians or history re-writers and there's no need for either side to be a jerk about it. No layout will be 100% prototypical and if someone wants to make an extra effort to get it more accurate for a specific prototype thats great -- thats the essence of modeling; not just plopping any old stuff on the track. So forget the other terms, you're either a modeler or a out of the box runner. Freelancing is modeling (I put freelancing in the category of prototype modeling as most are on that level), opening a box and running steamers and highcubes isn't. [/quote]
