Not at all. The problem is that the usual suspects aren't doing their job of cluttering up these threads with the usual postings.
 
It mortifies me greatly that I am needed to keep the post count at a sufficient status to keep the inanity quotient at a respectable level.

Yep, the whole crew has pigged out on pineapple, canned tuna and sushi.
They've left muppethead without too much to read.
Theyve forsaken the anime etc thread to play on their Xboxes.
They've gone off on a picnic.
They've gone AWOL when they should have kept the black bird busy trawling through a mountain of drivel.
 
ergo. they've got a life......

Yeah, I don't see the big deal with post count. I have over 10k posts in another forum, and over 7,400 in another, and over 4,500 in another.....and I'm creeping up on 5k here. If only I could get paid per post.......then we'd be talking!

It wouldn't do you any good as you're dead...........

My elder brother is a train tragic.
His whole garage is being converted into a model train layout. HO/OO scale.

I remember in the early/mid sixties when I was an apprentice electrical fitter/mechanic on the NSW Railways. I used to go to Sydney for tech.
I used to go to Hobbyco to look at all the model trains for sale.
They were Rivarossi, Athearn etc. and cost about A$200+ each when the fortnightly tradesman's wage was less than that.
I went to Hobbyco about 5 years ago and saw the same models in a perspex case as an exhibit and a NOT FOR SALE sign attached.
Would be worth a mint now.

My brother and I built a little layout in our garage that swung up against one wall.
That was before my brother got married and he took the layout to his new home.
Most of the trains we had were Triang and Lima.

I don't miss them, but it was fun wiring up the layout. All the buildings had lights in them.
The track was isolated into sections and we had a display board over the layout with the tracks shown, and a light lit up when a train was in the section.

Nowadays with DSD and all the new stuff it's a totally new ballgame.

Wow. I thought you were 15-23 considering you were on the AAML thread

Cmon, dudes.... this is unacceptable.

I was never into HO scale trains. It was always 3-rail O gauge trains only. 3 rail is 0-20 volt AC power instead of the DC power used by most HO. That made it fairly interesting - and it is what allowed Lionel to have all those really cool motorized & animated accessories. Scale realism wasn't the primary driver - it was all just for fun. The old 275 watt Lionel transformers were monsters - they weighed ~13 lbs.

One of my friends has a 1:24 scale British model railway.
He had the original set given to him just after WW2 when he was in England as a birthday present.
About ten years ago he expanded it into a nice little layout.

I only went there to see what deadlylover was up to as things were very quiet on the rest of the threads.
 
I  live about less than 200 meters from him, and have never met him.
