That Magic Moment
After the “Destroying the Illusion” thread that got a bit emotive, I have done a lot of thinking about the subject of “visual reality” and come to a (possibly controversial) conclusion.
Anyway, here goes………
There are a lot of candidates out there for “Is it a Model” in the Photo Fun section (blogs as well). I’m not going to mention names for fear of unintentionally missing someone out, but you all achieve great things – Respect.
STOP!
You guys are killing me with all these posts. Beet factories, coal yards, switching layouts, oil tank farms; it never ends and I'm out of room to add anything more. My wife has already put the "Kabash" on buying an old grocery store and my local club has no more room to expand - LOL!

What makes a model railroad GREAT?
What specific or general elements make a model railroad GREAT? In the same respect, what makes a model railroad NOT SO GREAT?
A couple recent posts started by JoeF got me thinking about these things... I'll start by listing my thoughts on the subject, starting from the ground up. I am by no means a master modeler or anywhere close. These are observations I have made over the past 25 years (off and on) of model railroading, based on layouts I have seen in person or print. These are things that ANY modeler can achieve without much skill or talent (both of which could describe me).
