-
- Model railroading covers modelling trains. There are plenty of us that go
- out and photograph the prototype (full scale) trains and then spend time
- building rolling-stock and locomotives. Many of these also end up as
- static displays, though personally I like to seem them move.
-
- While this group seems to cover modelling in general, which would
- certainly include modelling railroads, trains, etc..., rec.models.railroad
- specifically covers those topics, making it more appropriate. You
- could also post to the newsgroup "general", but you are less likely
- to find an audience that is geared to the builder of model trains. I
- don't think that you would be unwelcome posting to rec.models.scale,
- but you would certainly be welcome to participate in rec.models.railroad.
