Again, without comment, my response to a short article on The Atlantic’s web site.
I see this: The Atlantic’s articles, like this one, are short and superficial. The Guardian (UK) articles are long and rich.
US model railway magazine articles show ENORMOUS model train layouts, filling entire basements with complex, showy train sets made by men with too much money. More track = more show = better.
UK model rail layouts are so simple they often contain no more than a few feet or yards of track. Yet they are so detailed and elegant as to be admirable.
I’m neither: I’m Australian. I think you Yanks took the wrong track several decades ago. President Obama is a good man. Listen to him.
