So true, baltimoretrainworks! For those who want scale realism, visit the two rail section of this forum and you'll be among the true purists, those who who truly revere and strive for realism, not the pseudo realism that those with 3-rail who clamor for and speak out for realism while never the less be willing to settle for that 3rd rail. Three rails - realism?? Don't think so, don't even know how those so called realism pundits can even seriously use realism and prototype in the same sentence as 3-rails. Some may not want to hear or admit it possibly because of the amount of time/money they've invested but 3-rail are toy trains no matter how sophisticated they are or appear. After all, can anyone recall ever seeing a real train riding 3-rails, people???
Get over your selves and if purism and realism is what you truly want divest your 3-rail toys, invest in 2 rail and move to the 2 rail side of this hobby.
Leave the rest of us who enjoy our 3 rail toys without hearing you wannabee realists bemoaning and groaning the fate of 3-rail!!!
