…and as for the rest of us…Give it a break…no-one will win this debate…“Move on, nothing to see”, as the “Great” Dave Goodson would say…no-one wins and no-one looses…
Move out into the great outdoors, and run a train…or just share a bheer with a friend…
Bobby will be happier if you do…I’ll buy the first round, as long as you check your weapons at the police station down the road…

Stacy,
Let me put it succinctly: if you would stick to subjects that would correspond to your knowledge you would have a lot fewer posts.
So far you entertained us with a lack of basic knowledge of electrics, a spotty understanding of transportation in general and how certain trends developed in particular. Add to that a bit of a jumble as far as geography is concerned and how that geography shaped certain transportation systems.
Nah, I won’t even start on the model trains topics. Suffice to say they match or surpass the above mentioned.
Hans, you’re incapable of intelligent thought. Let alone staying within the topic lines. Now I am not asking you, I am TELLING you to stay out of my thread.

Stacy,
The German language has many sayings that go straight to the point, one of them is: “Those who can read have a clear advantage”.
Given what Fred posted just before your post, I’d think it fits. Now back to HSR as it would apply to this continent. As an example lets take California, high population density in clusters along the coast. And what are the large mill stones as far as planning goes? The difficulty to get HS trains to the center of those high population clusters, acquiring suitable real estate alignments to make use of pre-existing public transport facilities and last but not least funds which won’t be released unless all the “i” have been dotted and the “t” crossed. It’s like a saga and TRAINS magazine chronicles it very nicely, month after month.
The same as they did/do with the NEC and Amtrak in general. Unless money flows HSR will remain a big dream, Amtrak is constantly underfunded and consequently slides down hill. And … and … and…
Oh boy…
Stacy…I give up…I’m sure you are glad…
Now you probably will have to deal with Bobby…THE BOSS, or his good wife with the shotgun…
Starting a new thread will not solve the conundrum you have created…
Obviously the answer is the shotgun, or the concrete cap…
I think your welcome here is long past its prime…but I don’t own the place, and maybe Bobby will be forgiving…
The rest of you REDKnecks…hold back…enough has been said…THREAD should be closed

Are you deaf? I stated that I do not want you responding in my threads any longer. Is there a problem with your understanding skills?
I am not interested in your German sayings. Just leave my threads.

Hans created that “conundrum”. As for your ending comment…don’t threaten me.
I did nothing wrong and have tried to keep this topic going. However, a certain sect of this forum feel this need to violate the rules and run their mouths off.

OH…HANG ON THERE YOUNG FELLOW…“YOUR THREAD”…I beg to differ…NOT yours or mine or anyone elses…THIS IS Large Scale Central…owned and operated by the talented Bob McClown…not mine, not yours, not anyone elses…

============================================================
What part of staying on topic do you not comprehend?
Maybe you need a refresher course on comprehension skills.
BTW, It is my thread. I created it and expect everyone to at least obey the rules of the forum by posting to the topic and not making ad hoc inane comments about others.
Oh my…the fellow thinks he owns the World…egads…he does have a problem

Sheesh Steve, here I thought we were contributing to Stacy’s pool of knowledge in all things trains and general transportation. In other words get him up to speed - no, no, by no means high speed, that would be too taxing. Besides high speed and toy trains is a recipe for disaster.
Hans, unless you have something to contribute to this thread, please stay on topic or don’t post.
I won’t ask twice.
Stacy,put a sock in it. How did you get through boot camp, much less four years active duty with the Marines with that thin skin? What are you planning to do, punch HJ out? Ha!
I asked you nicely, and privately, to stop this nonsense, now I’m telling you, as Marine to Marine, knock it off! It is unbecoming and brings discredit on my Marine Corps! STFU!
I never stated I had 4 years active duty in the Marine Corps. Making stuff up about a fellow poster is a new low for you Steve.
Further, Hans made some rather asinine remarks, (once again), and I reminded him to stay on topic. If that happens to interfere with your interpretations of what happened, then I suggest you cop a chill and rethink what you are saying.
Also, telling a fellow poster to " STFU " is rude and unnecessary.
I might add that the Marine Corps is not “yours”. It belongs to the people of the United States. I won’t question your record as you did mine. I will not lower myself to that level.
BACK ON TOPIC.
At 8:38 pm on April 10, in your intro thread in this, the general forum, you indicated that you were a retired US Marine. That indicates 20 years service, at least. You also said that you worked on the F4 Phantom. Now you deny that. What is the truth, Stacy?
Each Marine takes ownership of the Corps. For a Marine to say " my Marine Corps" is quite common. If, indeed, you are a retired Marine, you would know that. What is the truth, Stacy?
Stacy you really have a problem, besides your lack of knowledge.
It is NOT your thread, and threatening others is sure to wipe out your reputation.
You are going to have to come back with an alias if you keep this up.
You have wound up resorting to insulting others that do not agree with you, this is childish.
You really need to go away for a while and look at how the rest of the people on this forum act… you are the one out of place. I’m surprised that Bob has not intervened, but actually not, since it’s basically you against the entire rest of the forum. Continuing your path will lead to ostracism.
You may believe that everyone else is wrong and you are right… it is you who is lost.
I suggest you take a forum vacation.
Greg
Oh my!!
Can’t we all just get along?? 
And, locked.
