Lets give this a try. I know that the N scalers have there own group. I just wanted to start one for the HO scaler’s. I dont know if anyone has tried this but I think it should work the N scaler’s one have over 70 pages and im guessing there are more HO modelers than N scale.
Post anything about HO!!!
Ill get us started. Does anyone know much about the steel mill by walters. Is it pretty good.
Umm… I don’t know if this will work, HO scale has only a bit more popularity than N, and I don’t know what they talk about over there (maybe we should send a spy[swg]) but I don’t know if this will get off the ground. You can try though.
BTW: Aren’t you an N scaler?

Been tried before.
The Fact is that most people on here are HOers as it is; no need for a special thread.

Have to agree with David B, the majority of modelers who frequent the MR General Discussion Forums are HO scale folks, so I am not sure that a specific thread for HO will get any legs under it, but you never know.
As far as the steel mill kit goes, it would be too big for my HO layout, but I have plans to incorporate a steel fabrication plant that gets shipments from what would be an offsite steel mill. I am basing it off of SteelFab where my wife works. They have six structural and fabrication facilities in five southern states and a few of them get shipments by rail, but most of their material is shipped by truck.
Cheers,

I don’t really see the need either. If you want to post something that’s HO specific just include HO in your topic title i.e. HO Walther’s Steel Mill
The N scalers could do the same thing. But I think they have a need to feel special [:D]
Enjoy

I think the idea over there is that they don’t have to post on every post that it’s N scale they’re talking about because that’s assumed.
I thought, from the subject line, that this was going to be a discussion about Don Imus. [:D]
My opinion, for what it’s worth is, we should just leave things as they are.
HO No! Not again.[sigh]
1/3 of a Santa’s laugh?
Ah…, but in a post that’s dozens of pages long how do you find the topic you’re interested in, i.e KATO NW2?
Enjoy

I thought the topic was to start a thread for the HO modelers to get together?. But instead has turned to talk’n smack about N scale modelers.
Well let’s see, seeing the mood that I am in, I should just keep my mouth shut,but NOPE!!!
It seems to me the HO scale side seems , scared that the N scale are coming to take over the modeling world.
It would not hurt my feelings if HO scale would take a long walk off a short pier.

Organizations for “majorities” are disdained in this country while the opposite is true for “minorities.” For instance, there are organizations for Hispanic and Black certified public accountants, but not for European-descent certified public accountants. Since HOers outnumber N-persons by more than 2 or 3 or more to 1, I don’t think a special “chat” column for HOers will be successful.
I find it strange that an N-scaler would initiate a separate HO chat column.

Mark–
Actually, Challenger has decided to switch over to HO scale. He’s got another post about his projected layout and he sounds really enthusiastic about it.

HUH? I dont see any anti-N scale talk.
This hobby ISNT about HO vs N. It is ONE hobby.
David B
what is that?, sounds like a comment to me, David.

You need thicker skin, my friend.

My skin is thick, I just wanted to stir the pot.
Time to put the popcorn away, Jeff, because there isn’t going to be much of a show. Sorry, Kyle. I’m going to have to nip this thread, too, for several reasons:
The balcony is closed
