We depend, as a general rule, upon craftsmanship alone for our enjoyment of model railroading.

Of course it's hard work to properly design free lance equipment, and that may well be where some of the criticism comes in. We have seen flagrant cases of free lance designing gone wrong, locomotives which couldn't turn a wheel if built full size. There's a lot more to locomotive proportioning than just looks.

But we feel that a man with sufficient railroad background and designing ability can design and build free lance model railroad equipment which will not only represent his own ideas but follow all standard railroad practices and so be models of something which could exist and operate on American railroads. This is the final test by which we judge any free lance model: \"If this same design were followed in full scale, would it meet the requirements of service on a line such as the free lance road represents?\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Calibri;font-size:1.0em;color:#000000;font-weight:bold;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;\"\u003eSuppose for our model road we decide to build a line between Junction and Ironton, the former a main line railroad point and the latter a mining town some 50 miles inland through rather rough country.
