I live in a small town. The local newspaper owner, a weekly, is a train buff. He doesn't model them, although he does have an old Lionel Virginian Trainmaster, but rather he rides them, and collects pictures, artifacts and the like.
Would you consent to having a photo or two, three, etc., of your layout being put in the paper if you knew that people who saw it actually knew or could easily figure out where you lived?
I don't know that many would want guns, jewels, or paintings made public.
The thing is we do like to show off our trains. But in this case isn't being discreet perhaps a better idea?
