Gday
    After a nice thread about models on Jim's list and after some 
discussion on salesmen samples here I now have some questions. What size 
makes a model? what features of a model are not on a "salesman" sample? 
Can any of us tell the difference? Why are these not looked at as bering 
a "MODEL"? after all they are just toys?  I have seen old models that 
are rough enough that I could have maybe been convinced that they where 
Salesmen samples. Any one else? Let me hear what you think and why  you 
agree or disagree. And what about size? when is a model no longer a 
model? I have an Ideal with 10 inch flywheels and it is real, yet I 
build models with 10 inch flywheels and I have a Flywheel off of a 1 1/2 
"M" that is going onto a MODEL. Is this wrong Curt seen the little 
Brunner air compressor that has been changed into a model engin and if 
you did not know better you would think it to be a salesman sample of an 
engin that did not cut the mustard?
