This one is directed at my fellow modellers. It also includes a rant at myself. I belong to the N-gauge e-group. Every so often we get a thread on Quality control with posts along the lines of "I bought this model and had to do this, this and this to it before it would run" or "I had to glue this list of parts back" etc. They then go on about how poor the manufacturers' quality control is.
Of course it is poor- why should they get things right when idiots like us correct their mistakes and repair their duds for them without complaining in the first place. Modellers- we are our own worst enemies.
If it is wrong SEND IT BACK. Complain loudly and bitterly- preferably at a display stand in a public place. That way the manufacturer has some incentive to get the next one better.
