El Coke,

As a former HO, HOn3, On3, and 1:20n3 modeller, It's easier to notice they all have their goods and bads. Because a region of the country leans toward one scale doesn't mean they should be bashed for bringing it to the convention. Every step up in scale quadruples the commitment in dollers. Try hand laying code 250, that takes a commitment. Scale wars have been going on for years, and I think most of it is in tongue in cheek any how. By the way I'm train simming these days, there is a lot of narrow gauge stuff available for free, which fits my retirement budget.

George
