Sometimes I get really frutrated that being in N scale there arent certain cool things available that it seems are in other scales. So to correct that I think our resperctive government should pass laws to protect our N scale rights. Such as: Any item available in the other scales has to be made available in N scale at a reasonable prices! Now what idea do you have for an N scale law??
The Quit Raining on my N-Scale Parade Act How about a law to protect our N scale ears and optimism? For example, any clubmate or friend or forum member found complaining about the lack of any given model in N scale three times in the same week will thus be forced to kitbash or scratchbuild the same model and bring to the next meeting or post photos online for fellow forum-goers. :tb-wink:
Oh my lord, that was one of many of my valid reasons why a Santa Fe GP-60M & GP-60B should be produced in "N", it is in HO, so it darn well better be in "N". It is ONLY fair that we who wear that big red N on our chest should enjoy and relish in. I'll vote for it without even entering the booth. fatalxsunrider43
Someone (you?) wrote to N Scale magazine about N scale lacking a GP-60M or B. The way I have seen it, just as you get done scratchbuilding or kitbashing your own someone will announce the same item as an upcoming release. As I work on my Olympian Hiawatha consist I keep chuckling to myself that it's only a matter of months before someone is bound to announce a release of these cars.
Life like before being taken over by walthers was doing that, anything that was made in HO arrived about 6 or so months later in N, sadly that has ended.
Yesiree ! That was I who wrote to N Scale Magazine about the GP-60M & GP-60B, the magazine is strongly behind the campaign to get these models done in "N" scale. I can only hope that a group effort, N scalers like myself and all who visit here, as well as magazines, will be just what it takes to get one of the manufacturers to announce the GP-60M & GP-60B, it will be an exciting day when the news is out. fatalxsunrider43
Then I am ready to act as an advocate for any N scale locomotive needs. Until then I will keep pushing for the GP-60M & GP-60B. fatalxsunrider43
Well that does it. Now I am going to write to the manufacturers and tell them to not make a GP60M or GP60B.
You should model in both scales and you will soon see how N Scale lacks common vehicles like modern reefer and flat bed delivery trucks...These should be no brainers after all you see 'em every where.
