Mark,
Neal Schorr and Bob Bartizek are NMRA members, as am I.

I'm also a member of NMRA (along with TCA and LCCA), although it might be a stretch to call my 3-rail efforts "modeling". Not sure why it should be surprising that someone is interested in both scale and toy trains, or might want to combine the two.

IMO, this is a problem with the train hobby in general - the idea that one person's approach to the hobby is less worthy than another's. We are more alike than different, and we should act accordingly.

Edit: I met Neal Schorr on a layout tour at the 2016 NMRA convention. I was wearing a TCA hat; he saw it and came up and introduced himself - nice guy and great hi-railer. Looking back, I wonder how many people might have avoided me due to wearing a TCA hat. (The bus trip from **** - driver got stuck in the grass while trying to turn around in the layout owner's driveway.)
