To end the arguments about model railroading:The best scale is mine.

1. The best scale is mine. The larger ones are too big, take too much space, and are too expensive. The smaller ones are too small, lack detail, need better eyesight, don't operate as well, and look like toys.
2. All modelers who create finer detail than me are nit-pickers. Those who have less detail are sloppy modelers.
