Glad you mentioned that. I was going to try Alclad on my Warbonnet PAs, but I too handle things with greasy fingers. Time to lay in that Eastwood plating kit, I guess.
I know nothing about the value of plastic railroad models. For that matter, I know nothing about the value of plastic Barbie dolls - neither are part of my hobby interests. But he flat-out said O Scale Brass. If he had said "brass quality" he would get an "ok" from me. I would not, even then, be a potential customer.
Sterling silver! We have here a lifetime stainless steel set of silverware. Misleading? On purpose?

Really?
You the disgruntled seller?
You the one who listed plastic as brass?
What real issue do you have with Burner's Babble?
Tell us the real story.

Re: Texas Special
The Kobayashi Maru scenario was an infamous no-win scenario that was part of the curriculum for command-track cadets at Starfleet Academy in the 23rd century. It was primarily used to assess a cadet's discipline, character and command capabilities when facing an impossible situation, as there is no (legitimate) strategy that will result in a successful outcome.

Re: Texas Special
That was off of a tenacious website. I had no idea what Martin was getting at. I understood Cole's point, and am familiar with the Lightfoot folksong. Not smart enough to understand either allusion.
I need to go back to putting "opinion" beneath each post.

Re: Texas Special
I am so in the dark on this part of the conversation. The only hint I had was that perhaps I remembered some ship named Maru sinking. I am a latecomer to the world of TV - my first "must see" series was "West Wing". I don't have a clue about Star Trek.
Even if I did, I am convinced I would not get the connection between this and Cole's eBay offering or his opprobrium.
