Excuse me! After a couple days of this thread, did this chat group devote
itself to trains, steam, engines, cars--? With Dr. Strangeglove and others
predicting the end of the world, why try to extend the steam time on your
Ruby or think about the purchase 0f an Aster 2-6-6-6? why drive to DH
OK, folks, politics and acrimony have no place here. We've veered far away
from the theme and now people are writing out of anger rather than mutual
interest.
Let's drop it now.

Besides "talking" trains and stuff is a lot less stressful. Thanks for

Thanks also for the reminder about the Loco of the month at Sidestreet. And,
I really like your new banner page showing off your Ruby.
There has been so much talk and exchange of ideas

Thanks Harley and Pete et al for your discussion of 1/32, it has been
refreshing to me to read all the input on that scale and gauges. We need
to keep our scope broad for the enjoyment of all list members.
Admittedly, 1/32 scale would be too itsbitsy for NG modelling, so 1/25
scale is
New Bright's caboose is 1/32nd, you would want some new trucks for it and
weather it some but it should look okay.

THanks for the confirmation, Jerry--There is hope for you, Clark!--and
others!

It would be a shame not to have some type of "official" competition at DH.
Jim, I'd suggest forwarding your idea to Jerry. It could be a lot of fun to have
a "Ruby beauty pageant".

I've had a new bright set for years. Before I even had a Bachman
starter set or a Mamod steamer. I keep saying that my first engine was
a Frank S but in fact it was a factory built 0 gauge Mamod. This was
back in the early 80's and Marc's mimeographed Sidestreet Bannerworks

Clark,
I agree that it's possible to establish an entirely new market with correct 1:32
scale equipment. What Bachmann did -- unintentionally, I suspect -- is to get
the interest of Model Railroaders in smaller scales. Many of them were
ignoring large scale because all that was available
It wasn't me or any of my friends here in Albuquerque who won that Powerball
lottery last week, but when I do I'll start making 1:32 scale stuff and you guys
can prove me right.

Great idea Gary. I would probably go with the Accucraft leaf spring
trucks however. But I really want a steel caboose from the 1940's. I
can see a Bass/Hartford collaboration happening. Your suggestion of
keeping the cost down is right on the mark.
A consideration should be made for road
