Country Joe posted:Thanks for all the responses. The term entry level has a very negative connotation to me. It's like the difference between the words plan and scheme. Scheme has a negative, underhanded connotation like Wylie Coyote scheming to capture Road Runner. I enjoy my trains and don't really care what anyone else thinks but I just get irritated when I hear that term applied to $300 diesel and $400 steam locomotives.
Depends on whether you use scheme as a noun or a verb. Used as a noun it means:
a large-scale systematic plan or arrangement for attaining some particular object or putting a particular idea into effect.
The way Railway Post Office clerks set up their sorting was referred to as "schemes..."
Railroad equipment have paint "schemes..."
etc...
