Author  Bio Some might call it obsessiveness. Anthony Ridenhour, the director of the San Diego Model Railroad Museum, prefers to call it "passion".

Overview	San Diego, CA - "Passion", the driving force behind the museum's more than 300 volunteers.  Especially in the Balboa Park museum's HO and N scale layouts, everything from the tiny adobe tiles on a model of the Santa Fe Depot (built from the station's actual blueprints) to the napkin holders inside a model of a restaurant is meticulously rendered. "We are extremely fortunate to have these volunteers," Ridenhour said. "We lovingly refer to some of the model builders as the rivet counters. They make sure every single rivet is in place on these miniature trains and that the details on the buildings are just as they appeared back in the day." San Diego RR Museum Website

I noted in the website that it is HO and N -- is there any G scale in this ??? If not, why is it appearing in LSOL material .... Not that we cannot get some ideas but HO and N also have their own ways to advertise ....I thought LSOL is for those of us who do THIS scale .... Just my thought and sorry HO and N people ....but there is a tremendous difference in how we approach our hobby and especially being OUTDOORS for the most part . Yes there are G scalers who model inside - but it is still LARGE SCALE ....

Carl, you need to read the PDF attachment. At first glance I only looked at their website but then when I looked at the PDF copy I understood why it was brought to our attention.
