Well, Dick, surely you know what a pain most clergy can be?

> I have had a lot of correspondence with Rev. Bruce Heald. The first was his
> positive response to my September 2009 "S Curves" column, in which I covered
> the issue of designing a model railroad that will hold one's interest. Rev.
> Heald's lengthy letter extolled the virtues of a prototypical operating
> scheme, and I agreed with him. His letter, together with my response,
> appeared in the Nov. 2009 MRN.

> The next significant exchange was in response to my September 2009 review (in
> MRN) of the Pennsylvania Heritage Models two-truck Birney streetcar. Based
> on the review, Rev. Heald inexplicably purchased the scale version of the
> streetcar (even though it's available in hi-rail too, a fact made clear in
> the review). And boy did he complain (to me and MRN) about how terribly the
> car ran on his tinplate track. I forwarded his note to PHM's Tom Doherty
> while at the same time suggesting to Rev. Heald that he contact Tom and ask
> for a wheelset trade. He did, and was satisfied. But now I knew that Rev.
> Held would rather complain in public than act in private.
>
> I have never challenged Rev. Heald's concept of operation. I agree with him!
> So I do not know why Rev. Heald spent the bulk of his rant about operation in
> response to my May 2011 "S Curves," particularly since he already knew that I
> have no disagreement with him about operation. My only point in my May
> column was how non-S people perceive S. Apparently, some S people find it
> very difficult to think outside the box.
