Even tho the PVMR "S" layout(s) is/are not "pure" scale, every time it is worked on, it becomes more scale like. New buildings are being built to scale, operations are more scale like than before, the trains have more scale characteristics. Animation is added at every chance, trying to make it realistic in nature. We explain how things work, how and why we wired it as we did, we show people the relays, "Back N' Forths", show them how we switch from A/C to D/C to DCC, etc. We build for people's enjoyment (slipping in education along the way), we build display layouts to captivate and cultivate. The kids are mesmerized, the older folks, reflective. Our layouts see the 'Light of Day" at every opportunity, we have been in churches, libraries, train shows, supermarkets, used them as fundraisers, etc. One decidedly NOT scale layout will be a carnival game this summer, won't be scale, WILL BE FUN. EVERY time someone asks "what it is" we always answer proudly, "S, the PERFECT gauge". Jim Lyle In a message dated 3/2/2011 1:34:44 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, [email protected] writes:

One response is to model all the figures on the layout in sedentary poses; sitting, leaning or standing still rather than digging, waving lifting boxes or walking. Yeah but figure manufacturers don't seem to understand that, they make way more useless guys playing baseball or cops running after a hobo than they do folks in relaxed realistic positions.....dave ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
