Hate to break it to you, but you are just pontificating the snobby attitude I mention.
Listen to yourself, you fit right in:
So NHRHTA people, go play with your plastic models or brass or whatever they are made of {snip} Meantime you can all talk about yourScrew the models Noel, even I'm fed up with them, but that last sentence is a doozy. Maybe you should also note most NHRHTA members are in fact former employees of the New Haven Railroad.
toys and models. {snip} All I can say is SHAME, SHAME, SHAME. {snip} OH, one more thing, the RMNE people and the former New Haven Railroad
people can lay claim to having operated this wonderful locomotive and
the NHRHTA people generally can NOT.
Oh well, way to go - thanks for making my point for me.
NHRHTA people would do better to march up with a few dollars for a ticket to ride or a donation.
As for NHRHTA members, I do not have knowledge of a roster of
subscribers of NHRHTA so I am not going to challenge you but I do not
think there are too many who formerly worked for the NHRR.
I don't think you are qualified to know either, you weren't around in the
NHRR days.
As we used to say to new employees: "The ink isn't even dry on your
application yet".
Some months ago, David, you expressed interest in working for a railroad
and at that time I advised you to join the RMNE, go there and learn the
ropes.
Even with the bashing that you have put on here, if you were to take my
advice and join up and volunteer, you could really get some satisfaction
out of your efforts, learn some valuable railroad knowledge and work with
some really great people in doing so.
I have a forty one year connection with the railroad industry but believe
me the RMNE is operated in a very efficient and professional matter.
I think you may have been "brainwashed" by somebody, somewhere.
