Well now, I’m pleasently surprised! You really do model in our scale, and it’s VERY nice work! But as far as the ‘high-horsing’ goes, I think you had better take a long look in the mirror. Disagreeing with someone’s advice is not my definition of high horsing, belittling other peoples work over your own IS.
As far as all the pictures of N-scale work posted on this thread, I think it’s ALL top notch work. Each stands out in its own way, but none superior to the other. That’s my ‘non-high horse’ opinion.
I like the idea of an N-scale hangout, but I think it would exclude a lot of folks who have good info for us. Unless you only have specific N-scale topics, i.e. wheelsets, n-scale rolling stock, installing n-scale decoders, etc. But a lot of what we discuss is independent of scale and I wouldn’t want to miss out on that. A number of people come to mind who have been very helpful, but they are not n-scale modelers, so we would miss out on their information.
Another option for the n-scalers is to go to trainboard. They already have an n-scale forum. I look around there sometimes, but have never posted. I guess I like the discussions that are going on here, and don’t see a need to have another n-scale only forum (but if one were created, I’d spend plenty of time there).
I appreciate your intrest in the Camelback project. It means a lot to me as I value your opinion highly. Thought I’d share a bit more about it if you’re interseted.
Wow… Now that, sir, is craftsmanship! You’ve inspired me to consider converting one of those 4-4-0s into a Pennsy D16sb. I’m sure it wouldn’t be nearly as complex a kitbash as yours, but a challenge for a “shake-and-bake” 'roundy 'roundy modeler like me [;)]!
Do you really think you should poke the bear with a sharp stick? [;)]
I think that would make a fine project. That’s a good looking loco. It should make an excellent addition to your herd.
Hey do you have any more pics of the L1 project. The pic you showed looks good, but it kind of leaves me wanting more. You know, like seeing something you like a whole lot, and wanting to get to know it better.
