Hi All: It seems as though there are good ideas expressed by all sides. Having been responsible for many massive reports, I know how fast time can slip by. If there is an electronic copy of this available, why not put together a small group of interested people [Including Ed and Milo - and based on my comments, I will also volunteer (although I am not exceptionally knowledgeable) + others interested and knowledgeable in scale and AF/high rail] to begin to separate and modify the list into AF/hi-rail and scale. This would give us sufficient time so that when the time comes to print it, we would have an almost complete and almost perfectly edited electronic copy for the printer. Being electronic, we could ship suggestions for modifications and additions back and forth over the internet (suggest Word). One person would have to be responsible for the master copy and additions and deletions, definitions as to what constitutes an S manufacturer or supplier, etc., possibly John Foley or someone from the NASG. just some ideas. Regards to all Rance Velapoldi (Norway)
PS I will be visiting the Arlington VA area for about 10 days around the labor day holidays. Any suggestions for visits to stores, available layouts (scale or high rail), etc.?? Please advise off line. Tx.
