Hi ;
My Son is after me to write a book on my personal model building history . Why ? I say to many , if I finish and get it published .
The readers will say , Oh Heck , I heard about that stuff years ago ? Why would they be interested in a old geezer's reminiscences of old modeling times and products ?
Would that be equivelant to answering eight or ten year old posts on this forum for instance ? Old knowledge is good knowledge . When is the world going to face facts . Without old knowledge the new wouldn't even be here .
It's like at the Museum someone asks " What was it like to eat in a moving Dining car back in the day ? " Well , turns out that after the explanation they are astounded by the facts . Many folks don't know the truth .
They think that well appointed dining on rails was a figment of Hollywood ! Nope ! It was real ! Cars with wood on them that weren't station wagons , Yep ! they were real too .Warships with real teak decks ? Yep ! right again . See , I could go on forever .
So if someone reads an old thread ( except a newbie that signed on the first time back then ) That's redundant ! But adding new facts to an old problem or question never hurt anyone . So that said , will you then buy and read my book ? I think I am going to see if I can get $50.00 bucks a copy . That way I can buy more models , LOL.LOL.LOL. Tanker - Builder
