Newsflash, Boys and Girls .....
Outside of Star Trekkies, railroad foamers are probably the most emotionally distressed lot going. Not ALL of them, but we all know this group is loaded with rivet counters and other likewise howlers, over-reacters, and silly persons. Multiply by 12 inch to the foot, and man, do the fingers fly !
Is there a shred of truth under all that drama ? Maybe. Is it worth getting your panties in a bunch about ? Probably not.
We all love the narrow gauge and steam in general. Just a thought, but maybe preservation of steam might be better served if a lot of us were more invested in these projects and more rational than emotional.
I don't see it happening in my lifetime

.... but the cat fighting within this group makes teenage girls look like Tibetan monks.
