Just for fun this morning I clicked on one of the Google Ads that come up on Railwire. It was labeled "7 Model Train Mistakes to Avoid" and I was thinking that I probably made at least that many mistakes yesterday and could use some advice or a few laughs.
Anyhow, this leads you to Blogvertisement by this guy Dan who is an "expert" modeler. I thought people might like his missive on how to choose the right model train scale:
http://www.homodeltrains.info/ho-layout/3-ways-to-choose-the-right-model-train-scale-for-youI was really impressed by his reasoning :

, especially this gem:
"The ladies seem to prefer the intricate smaller scales, while the men tend to go with the HO scale and larger scales." I guess that would explain the huge numbers of women who post in the N scale forum and show up at train shows. I hope my wife doesn't find out! :-*
He was nice enough to include a Contact Us button for those that are tempted to show this guy what can be done by the N scale ladies auxiliary....not that I recommend that or anything.

Best wishes, Dave
