Reading this complaint about the Red Caboose would definitely make me look the place over before putting down money.. http://www.complaints.com/august2001/complaintoftheday.august21.6.htm

Just getting reinterested in the hobby and its a tough descision as to go with N or HO as both have advantages over each other,guess i.m going to leave it up to fate,that locomotive in my avatar is going to be the basis of a mid 50's layout,when i see it in that color scheme whatever the scale...

Don (EZ) Day ,thanks for your efforts,as i know basically nothing about PC applications i'll take your word about the complexities of doing it any other way..:thumb:

Seems like you have to go to doctorwaynes link then click on all the links in the poll one at a time.Any chance of seeing them all at once in thumbnails?
