Well said, Dave. I was going to say that it is more of a DESIRE than an attitude for me. because, believe it or not, I do cut some corners... which explains why I've decided to go with all code 88 wheels and compatable track instead of code 87/P:64.
Just don't tell anyone I said that...

Protomodeling doesn't have to be museum attitude, I model with the same attitude whether modeling in proto or common scale mode. The only difference that is actually mandatory is building the track to the corresponding specs. P64 should be within the capabilities of about 70 % of modelers as that's likely the combined number of HO and N modelers who are already working to as fine or finer tolerances than P64. I think the big question is not whether one can make it work but instead should be does one want to pay for it? The replacement wheels are not cheap and scale cars come with code 110 wheels by default so P64 modelers have to pay twice. ..DaveBranum [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
