I would suggest that for all those saying otherwise, put up your greatest attempt at scale realism next to the prototype and let us pick it apart. If it doesn't pass muster then by your own definitions you must be relegated to the O27 forum, correct?
No offense intended Tex, but I think the last couple of words of your post are telling:
"relegated to the o27 forum"
Where what - the unworthy all hang out and long for a moment to bask in the eternal glow of the enlightened scale crowd?
My point was to strike out against the elitist mentality, not to embrace. By the guidelines given, I would think all who attempt scale realism are worthy, whether achieved or not. My last line was meant as a strike against the elite who think their work is so worthy while others is not. I know that we could take any of the elite's work and find issues with it.
My suggestion was aimed at all the naysayers who suggest that Nicks posts belong in the toy train forum.
