Great to chat on Tuesday.
Your analysis, in ...Bob,<br />Great to chat on Tuesday.<br /><br />Your analysis, in part, looks a bit like what I did many years ago when converting from N Scale to HO.<br /><br />However, the factor I think that has been overlooked is one's heritage. I can't think of any other way to describe it and it is a variable when it comes to importance that one assigns to it. My sense of heritage is which railways you knew as you grew up. So if you lived close to the Dandenongs, you may feel a close affinity for narrow gauge. For someone like me growing up near the Short North, NSWGR may well be the default prototype. However, as I said, this can also be a variable which means that its importance changes from individual to individual.<br />cheers PhilPhil Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14268733501548280685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4758336167428675765.post-85108114144380073612016-03-02T13:32:46.820+11:002016-03-02T13:32:46.820+11:00Great reading Bob.

Judging by some of your scenery efforts on the former HO layout, I think you'll very much enjoy getting your hands dirty on this new project. The other beauty of a scale like On30 is it tends to open up some opportunity for some very unique locomotives and rolling stock. Pieces with character rather than the endless rakes of the same freight car that usually appears with more modern rail operations. Each one of you locos and rolling stock is going to have its own life story.<br /><br />Glad to hear you mention the Australian Narrow Gauge Convention as well. If you can manage to make the time to travel down for the next one in Geelong in 2017, I think you'll thoroughly enjoy the chance they provide to get amongst a great group of fellow NG enthusiasts and share a bunch of ideas. My first ANGC I attended was almost overwhelming and information overload!<br /><br />Cheers,<br />DanDanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14964931761331248766noreply@blogger.com
