Not to belabor the point John, but certain parts of the country are still very much hi-rail based, some have a mix while others are pretty much a scale bunch. Our club has 4 hi-rail guys who operate on our scale railroad. They don't look any different and when they go behind closed doors the flanges/couplers are their own business.
There isn't any great need to separate the tall rail guys from the scale guys as our scale goes through some natural age changes. AF/hirail will probably die out in the next 20 years, while the small rail and NG stuff hopefully gets more popular. Bob Werre > Sheesh... gotta disagree with you, Jim.
