I actually spoke out against politics in that one posting, and the car bit was a following of the drift, not causing it. Though it really doesn't matter, but speaking of reading for comprehension go look at the line under the heading for "eBay and other online auctions". That was what the subforum was created for, hence my question posed, no judgements made but question posed. I have enough to make my own judgements now.

That's all fine, and if you care to go look you'll find most of my postings have been about what I do like; model building. Funny that "Paint Shop" is two pages back now. I'm finding the posting of projects doesn't garner interest any more, and that is telling, but its also fine.

Bob, the waving of NK was truly instructive. It has no interest to me as a social community, so I politely decline your invitation to click away.


Seems to me you have moved on from Editor of the magazine to "Editor" of the forum. Do as I say, not as I do. I'm totally weary of these kind of posts. Don't like a topic, then don't read it. My tag here is "E7".....just ignore my posts. May be snarky, but use your "BACK" arrow if you see something you don't like. Time to move on from these kind of discussions.

Witness here:

Where we read;

Thanks!


Seems to me the standard is at least as double with you, and your campaign to start a subforum about "doorstops", not even put here on the two-rail forum for input, so no room to talk about "do as I say not as I do".

Since what was intended by me as merely a question turned into this, I'll make it clear I have no need nor desire to "edit" or control this as you so rudely put it.

So, look in the mirror, and enjoy yourself for having won the Internet today.

I am quite done, thank you.

This all sounds like a misunderstanding among friends. Seems to me we ought to be able to discuss anything without getting uptight or personal about it.

I am always for more trains and less everything else, but it is the everything else that keeps this forum alive.

All of the folks here are good folks. Take a deep breath, and post a photo of anything O Scale.

I feel that I need to say now and then that I am a three railer. I have a small layout, 16' X 20' and I play with my trains. I am not by definition a collector.
I read everything posted on MTJ. Sometimes I am confused, sometimes perplexed. Often I learn something. I am always entertained and have FUN.
It is all about a hobby and hobbies are supposed to be fun.
I am really bothered when someone stops posting or leaves the forum. This is not a large forum but most posters seem to be sincere and. I think, honest.

Dan...Really excellent locomotives there...outstanding. Have you installed those new Soundtraxx II decoders them ? If so how's the sound in your opinion?

Please do not be so modest. I have been there and made the run between Arock and Hardplace. Your "small'" layout is every bit as good as any others that I have seen! It brings to mind the former layout of Frank57. We need some photos posted, please.

Those Berkshires are among the best models produced by Sunset. I ought to know - I reviewed the SP one for OSN and won a prize at OSW for my Lobaugh/scratch SP Berk (nowhere near as good as Sunset, but it indicates that I studied the drawings).

Other really, really good Sunset: Allegheny, Big Boy, PRR Q2. I wish they had taken as many pains with the SP Mikes and Decks.
