It isn't just our MRR hobby. We recently purchased a new travel trailer. Plenty 
"not quite right" but worst is the breaks. They "pulsate" or bounce when 
applied, especially on a slow stop. So far the dealer has replaced all four 
brake drums (out of round) and one scored axle. Now the brake supplier is 
shipping out a new second axle and a complete replacement brake system 
including pads springs etc. I feel sorry for the dealer. He's got another new 
one on the lot that has the same problem. You'd think the trailer manufacturer 
would at least test drive/pull a new trailer before shipping it. And this is a 
name brand!

  I have heard from some HO fellas who are in the NMRA that the NMRA recently 
did a survey of all known HO turnouts (not kits) and concluded that none of 
them met ALL of the NMRA standards. Not a single one. I presume the Fast Tracks 
fixtures will enable folks to build a "correct" turnout if they want to do it 
right. This seems, to me, to be a somewhat sad state of affairs in the hobby 
today. Ed L.
