Cheers, Mark.[/quote] Mark, First of all I will state you have a layout that appears you have spent a lot of time on, and have detailed it nicely. You should be proud of it. I hope you share it with world in MR mag (unless you already have & I missed it). Just a point, the contest was for realism, none of your photos qualified. You need to spend more time track side/looking at proto photos, before posting photos, claiming them to be realistic, because those photos make me say "I'd have to assume you haven't seen many real railroads..." . I could tell it was a layout without a second glance it was not real. Just a few quick notes: out of scale couplers with pigtails and mold lines, people looked fake, little/no weathering, and lack of power line wires. I'm sorry, but those photos made your layout look TOY like. Which is exactly what you are saying all G people are. I had not responded because your photos proved my point. Your quoted post prompted this response. As far as the radius/ yard length, my point was model railroaders must make compromises, usually in distance (ok so do you model the entire distance of that RR?)/radius, etc. My point being ALL modelers must make compromises, some more than others. You did to. BTW I'm not intellectually lazy, you are intellectually wrong. Words have definitions and therefore mean what they mean, no matter what only one person says. Mark, I was gonna let this drop, as we are all model railroaders in this for the fun of it. If you can't find anything in another scale/era/etc. to help you out on your layout (which was my point on my original post), I guess that is your problem, not mine. Good Luck & Fun to all, however you chose to do it. Cheers
