I'm ...Well said Brad, an a breath of fresh air. I'm into both model rail and slot cars. I find on the whole, the online slot car community in Australia is great, informative, supportive and happy to help. My experience of the online model railway community is quite the opposite. I'm quite happy to run my Lima and Powerline locos and rollingstock, all with dunnyseat couplers, and care little that my kit built CPH has the wrong headlight and bogies. They go, and make me happy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8521067228445533737.post-4512521541611832022014-02-02T09:38:04.534+11:002014-02-02T09:38:04.534+11:00As a modeller of many years experience I know how ...As a modeller of many years experience I know how some snyde gybes can be very hurtful. Yep we are all in this for the fun it gives. My tramway has been described as a "caricature" and "frivolous"... Its like water off a ducks back though.... If you are the type of chap who takes a year to mark out a job and drill 4 holes then well be it but its unfair to suggest that because someone else can do the work in a day that their models are a "caricature"... However its all part of life, some people take it all far too seriously, no one gets out alive.<br />Yes the diversity of processes, materials and skills needed are what keeps us going, personally like most the challenge is in the journey, I think I'll be long gone before my tramway is ever finished and the fact that the wheels on my trams are disks rather than spoked matters little in the overall effect.<br />Well said Brad!<br /><br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16075323868451836995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8521067228445533737.post-39037382429327277562013-12-16T07:10:23.243+11:002013-12-16T07:10:23.243+11:00A well written piece which confirms why I like mod...A well written piece which confirms why I like modelling railways so much - it combines so many different skills, materials and methods to make a layout. For me this variety alone keeps the interest levels high, and even with a completed layout there is always room to research on operation and enhancing details.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8521067228445533737.post-68204577641093412902013-12-14T16:26:14.383+11:002013-12-14T16:26:14.383+11:00Brad,
