Bob is totally correct about our narrow minded brethren.  another 
interesting thing is that their steam power available ranges from the 
pre 20's to the present time.  Another interesting observation is that 
the number of narrow scalers greatly outnumber us wide gauge guys, but 
they are almost never heard of in the NASG realm, ... cousin Dave Heine 
and Jeff Smith come to mind.

I tune into a narrow gauge list and it's also amazing that guys who once 
build kits, scratch built cars and engines are also now buying PBL RTR 
stuff and I would guess that most brass PBL engines are now sold 
painted, weathered, and DCCsound ready.  We're not the only ones getting 
lazy in our modeling.  What's next ---RTR pre painted styrofoam mountain 
scenery!! ha
