@Matt_GNo27 posted:@MainLine Steam, while I whole-heartedly endorse this endeavor of yours, it would appear that yes, you've been banned, er, shunted to the 2R board. I'm also concerned that your tagline no longer fits. "Say what you will, but I refuse to outgrow Toy Trains!" It would appear that you have actually outgrown toy trains and are now firmly in the model train world. Please update your tagline before the 2R forum moderators are forced to take punitive action.
;-)
ROFLMAO Thank you!
Point well taken, but to me they are all toys. That includes all my years in HO.
Also a car guy and refer to the vehicle kept in the garage that doesn't take me to work in the winter that way.
Being a Mechanical Design Engineer I can go on and on about what does true scale actually mean. Even the absolute best Proto 48 is not exactly accurate to the prototype. There is that pesky thing called the laws of physics. Examples; the thickness of the glass in the windows, the size of the hinge pin for the doors, etc, etc. BTW do the brakes actuate pneumatically as in the Prototype? (yeah I'm just being a jerk now, but I know it)
