Just to be clear and with this will not engage in a flame war..., I've never said "As Joe from MTL once admitted to me that they had to sacrifice functionally for aesthetics" with regards to how switches work.

Joe Don't worry Joe, this is the same guy that declared MTL was pulling out of Z-scale a couple of years ago. And that CP owns UP. And this isn't the first time he has announced his departure from Z. So, his credibility here isn't stellar...seems to have his own little reality going.

YES YOU DID JOE 7 YEARS AGO. I REMEMBER IT WELL. IT WAS YOUR COMMENT THAT GOT BE EXPERIMENTING WITH MARKLIN TURNOUTS. I WISH I HAD KEPT THE CONVERSTION SO I COULD PROVE IT TO YOU BUT I DIDN'T. WHO KNEW AT THE TIME I WOULD NEED IT AS PROOF. AND JUST FOR YOUR DINING AN DANCING PLEASURE THE THING ABOUT CP BUYING UP WAS IN ALL THE NEWSPAPERS UP HERE AND WAS BIG NEWS ON THE TV. IF IT WASN'T TRUE THEN WHY WAS IN REPORTED? NOT TO PUT TO FINE A POINT ON IT BUT WHY ARE THERE SO MANY UP ENGINES OF VARYING DECRIPTIONS RUNNING ON CP LINES AND MIXED WITH CP LOCOS. AS FOR MTL GETTING OUT OF Z SCALE. THIS WAS TOLD TO ME BY A LOCAL DEALER WHO SAID HE GOT IT STRAIGHT FROM AN MTL EMPLOYEE. SO PERHAPS YOU SHOULD INVESTIGATE YOUR OWN OFFICE BECAUSE IT SEEMS THAT SOMEONE THERE IS NOT HAPPY. I'M NOT THE ONE WHO LACKS CREDIBITY HERE.

Willy...your caps lock is stuck on.
I truly hope that you find some peace with model trains. You have mentioned more than once you have a huge investment in Z-scale but that investment is not returning anything to you; only frustration. Cut your losses (model trains are NOT a good investment) and find something that makes you smile; whether it be another scale or another hobby. You have also mentioned that you cannot find any fellow Z-scalers in Canada; I bet there are quite a few N-scalers.

No more frustration with Z scale. My layout is no more. I have donated the whole thing so now it will be someone else's problem. My wife cheers because she has her basement back although what she is going to do with it is a mystery, and my blood pressure is no longer cause for concern. I thought I would have some regrets about giving it up, but surprisingly I don't. The only question I have now is what do I do with myself?
