Should have let her off the train right then and there,at full speed. :twisted:

I've never understood the argument that being well-educated means you're well behaved. Or well-anything, except hopefully educated in the particular subject you're degreed in. But then, the only doctorate among my mom's siblings is a complete moron who thinks his degree makes him an expert on all subjects (and treated his bachelor's the same way), which may skew expectations on my part. :p:

Actually, not. There is a distinction between miniature trains (the ridable sort such as Walt's Carolwood Pacific Railroad,) and model railroads (which are the smaller scale tabletop layouts.)

Tell me about it! I used to be the editor for the Official Glossary of the National Model Railroad Association. While I think our product came out pretty well, the "discussions" leading up to it (and those that quickly followed) were good practice for telling guests their favorite attraction was down for a month's rehab.

Like Mr. Dorfman said, "I design model aeroplanes,not toy planes".
