Stand up, be counted and be proud, HOers!

Are we HOers going to let the N scalers out participate us in the poll?

The last time we ran the same poll, there were 16 more of us!

Hi jon,

I'd be worried about being overrun by N-scalers,
but they got such little bitty feet!!!!!!

"Short people got no body.... "etc.

Now where's my keys?:sleeping:

 

[jon-monon]

LOL

 

[philip]

how dare you call my a ho-er.

Don't worry, the N Scalers are half our size, we still take up more room in the guage than they do :thumb:

 

[Matthyro]

Good luck to you HOers. I guess us N folks just talk too much. Remember we have to have the same size aisles and our hands are the same size as yours.

 

[jon-monon]

hehehe Thanks Robin, I guess most of the HO folks are keeping quiet so on average, with my big mouth, we'll come out the same as other scales

Gee, I sure hope this doesn't turn into a scale vs. scale LPB fight! I can see dozens of N scale LPBs crawlin up a G guys leg and biting him all over like fire ants or tie him up at night:sleeping:

Watch out Gulliver!!!

Hey, I have enough trouble with OO modellers. If you guys feel you are being displaced by N-gaugers, you could always come to the UK.

I think it's just N scale is half the size of HO so them N scalers just get done faster because they only do half the work. So then they have more time to yap on the net. I can say this because this is an HO forum here and no N-gaugers should have the time to read this unless it was true (so if you take offence that provers my theory). I never have time to read the N scale forum. Why should they be reading ours, well Robin? Are n-gaugers paranoid? Do they care what us HOers might be saying about them behind their backs? But really it's them slot car racers we need to worry about. Them and these folks http://www.starshipmodeler.com/index.htm who will turn all our trains to slag with their phasers. FRED

I took one look at that homepage and saw "Star trek". That was enough for me!
Are they just the same as portrayed in that episode of The Simpsons? "BI-MON-SCI-FI-CON" and all that.
And my Brother has the cheek to call ME a nerd!

 

[jon-monon]

LOL dash! If you think about it N is about 1/2 HO in linear measurement, but about the 1/4 the area!

 

[Fred_M]

Actually it's lenght, width, and height which means 1/2 cubed or 1/8. But I wasn't gonna point that out because I'm not wanting to be labeled a grouchy old ho. And the link to starship modellers has some good How Tos. They scratch everthing they build. FRED

Does that mean it takes 2-4 N Scalers to equal each of us HO Scale guys?

They are not only half the length but half the width and half the height. That means we could fit 8 of them into the space that one of us takes up.

Personally I'm glad that no '0'ers are here to try and make us feel small.
