From: Rich Zellich 

I've seen enough side comments in prototype-related messages to be pretty 
sure there are quite a few of us modelers out there.

As for me, I model in N scale, mid 50's era (with some interest in turn-of-
the-century), and subscribe to the mail modeling magazines (used to take
Short Line & Narrow Gauge Gazette, too, but it was too NG and not enough SL
oriented so I canceled after a few years). I like free-lancing, but also
insist on a reasonable degree of realism to prototype (maybe I'm just too
lazy to go the 100%-prototype route?).  In my condo, I have yet to rebuild
the model layout I had 2 houses and an apartment back, but I have rough plans
for the new one; basically my own free-lanced short line, plus a connection
to mainline AT&SF if I can fit in the trackage for it.

Cheers,
Rich
