Discussions about great people of the past vs. present are always difficult to compare whether they be mrrers or sports figures , or anyone else for that matter .

Anyone out there ( and I know you're out there ) know if the CPR ran a doodlebug or similar item 30 to 40 years ago ? My CPR '60's layout is starting to take shape and I would like the doodlebug scenario to be plausible . If it's too far out there I'll paint it in industrial colours with the...

Hello Steelman . For some true inspiration , check out the steel mill scenes from 1) Jeff Borne 2) Mike Rabbitt 3)Ken Larsen 4) Bob Oneal They should pop up on Google . I've started my mill but am a long way off. Cobra

Digital cameras are certainly the way to go . ...wish I had done it long ago . Lots of good deals out there ( I got a Kodak but there are many comparably priced ) and between it , the camera dock and the computer , photos are a snap as is editing , downsizing ...you name it . I got the 128 disc...

Living in southern Ontario , I can't really gauge the SARS issue since our area wasn't affected by it , and people getting seriously ill is no laughing matter . But I have , unfortunately , a sneaking suspicion that NMRA is holding a ' gun to our heads ' . Many people feel the NMRA is not worth...

I haven't been here long but already I've seen what great pics the Canadian Forum takes , eh? So now I have to drop a bundle for a digital camera to do my share .
