HO Scale Lifeboats (and some larger vessels, too)

[JaBear]

e-paw, my apologies if you thought that I was referring to yourself as an “anorak wearing rivet counter”. :oops: In my experience, having been accosted on occasion by those types while carrying out my day job, they have little to offer apart from wasting time, and their self proclaimed expert knowledge which I have found to be somewhat suspect. Actually attempting to do something useful, or in fact helpful, is not part of their makeup.
For the record I would classify myself as “a dabbler” who has embarked on “the Slippery Slope”.
Thanks for your kind words Bernhard.
Cheers, the Bear.
