Well maybe it should be "Classic REAL Trains"!! Smile [:)]

Oddly enough, I just posted the same question yesterday. http://www.trains.com/trccs/forums/1320485/ShowPost.aspx

In retrospect it's a shame when Kalmbach took over Vintage Rails mag from Pentrex that they didn't use that name for their magazine, instead of "Classic Trains"...that name is just too close to their "Classic Toy Trains" (plus the two forums are one after the other on the website) which is why we get all the posts here about Lionel and American Flyer.

Maybe setting up the two forums so they're farther apart, putting the Classic Trains forum down with the Trains magazine forums towards the bottom of the page would help??

I do not see the word "real" in the forum name. Lighten up friends, at least someone's posting to this forum.

Sounds like someone got up on the wrong side of the bed this AM and stuck their foot in the Chamber Pot.  Sign - Oops [#oops]

Although, I do agree with the poster that it can be a headache.
