We enjoyed this spoof video and its tongue-in-cheek parody of over-
the-top sensationlist news broadcasting. Instead of the model rail-
roading how-to content this video links to, however, we recommend

the money with us!

Famous model railroaders
Who is the most famous person in the most popular scale? Santa
Claus, of course. He’s famous for his HO-HO-HO.
Who’s the most famous person in N scale? It has to be Captain Jean-
Luc Picard of the USS Enterprise. He’s always saying, “N-gauge!”
As for the smallest scale, there was that great pioneer in working Z-
scale semaphores, Alexander Graham Bell, who gave us the bi-Z sig-
nal. (In America, “z” is pronouced “zee.”)
We cannot forget the great contribution to fine-scale model railroad-
ing made by women during World War II, collectively known as “Rosie
the Rivet-Counter.”
