Where do you guys get off telling us how to support our hobby? Like it or not, this is a COMPETITIVE hobby with a lot of COMPETITIVE people. Some of you spend less than $500 a year which is fine. Some of us spend thousands per year. There is room for everyone. Enough of the petty jealousies of people turning a buck...TINPLATE ENVY is not a desirable trait PEOPLES! I know a lot of you are of the "no one should have more than anyone else"(gee wonder who gave you that idea), but if I drive 2 hours, spend a whole day at an auction, and turn a few trains to support my train addiction, then who the heck are you? I work very hard at my job, but it does not fully support my train wants. Also, I can make the case that I am making a lot of trains available to collectors out in Kansas, etc. where collectible trains may be fewer. Sadly, people on here often are not tolerant of others' pursuits.
