That's okay. None of the dealer's seemed to mind my conscientious approach. Especially when I wanted to pull a car out of the box and the plastic so I could examine both sides. It meant no fingerprints or smudges for the eventual buyer.

I guess I am pretty Monk-ish about trains. I keep my own trains as flawless as possible - dusting and cleaning them regularly when they are on the track, and keeping all others stored in a dust free environment.

I have no intention of ever selling them. But if I kick the bucket, and my son or daughter isn't interested in the hobby, my wife can get top dollar for them.

If that were were the case, that, rather than a racist rant about Chinese workers ought to have been mentioned. DUH!

"I wanna go back to Dixie, Take me back to dear ol' Dixie, That's the only li'l ol' place for li'l ol' me. Old times there are not forgotten, Whuppin' slaves and sellin' cotton, And waitin' for the Robert E. Lee. (It was never there on time.)"

Manufacture?

If one was talking about using gloves to avoid messing up a model then you would talk about that; it wouldn't occur to one to include a long rant about Chinese workers.

Doing so would be totally out of context regarding that concept. It's only makes sense in the context of being a racist launching into a bigoted diatribe about the models being infected by Chinese workers.
