The NMRA view
The "Letter To The Editor" post garnered a substantial number of replies and a good deal of debate. While I did not partake in that debate I did follow it with interest as a totally impartial observer.
In my email this morning I received "NMRA eBulletin July/August 2016. The Presidents piece made for very interesting reading and I felt, for balance, should be reproduced in full on this forum. Again, I have no strong feelings either way on this debate.
