I have a layout. > (2) If you do run your scale models on a layout, [yours or anybody's] are > they exactly prototypically made to scale with all the detail, including > underbodies? No. All have underbody detail, but most don't have all the small piping and clevices. > (3) Do you attempt to run scale models as true to scale as best you can? Yes. > (4) Are there models on your layout that are true to scale, but not finished. No. But I go by my own definition of "finished." One has to know when to stop (like stopping short of modeling functioning brakes, or powering with steam instead of electricity). > (5) Do you have any un-scale models running on your layout? No. > (6) Are you serious when you say that a SHS or AM model is off from the > prototype 1/10 of a foot, or that the slope is off a fraction, or that the > markings are wrong, or it has the wrong headlights for the model SHS-AM and > others are re-creating? Depends. I am unhappy when a car is several scale feet too short. If something is a tenth of a real foot off, I care. If it's off by a tenth of a scale foot, I don't care. > (7) Are you having fun?
