Let's Talk O-Gauge Trains not OGR
Posted by Anonymous on Saturday, April 10, 2004 6:55 PM
Hey Guys,
Let's talk more about O-Gauge Trains and less about OGR. Currently there are three threads on this forum devoted to various aspects of OGR. Imagine that, getting all that free advertising on their major competitor's forum.

Bill, I felt the same but did not want to start a mess. Lets all be one family. Lots of good folks came over here and lots of good folks were already over here. I was kind of new when the move was made. Now we are all here and lets have fun. I love to see those pictures posted and I love to joke a little. Then, we get serious and help each other with train things.

Aparently some people can't accept change and have to continually whine about it. Maybe they need to be tied to the tracks and then set the transformer at "run 8".

Yep, The Rock is also getting tired of all of this malarky about OGR. Either fish or cut bait! If you want to get away from all of this BS, go to www.modeltrainjournal.com

All we're doing is taking up memory space by knocking another forum. I've been members of both for a while but I've now become a read only on the other.

As the expression goes, "I don't have a dog in this fight." That having been said, I think everyone who has something to say about the OGR website has pretty much said it.

York is upon us, it is a time for goodwill to all train guys and gals, and I would hope that everyone would take the chance to move on to other topics.

Bob, what are you doing in the office on Easter?? Beside, if you have read the York Yuck topic, I think that you will find even less common ground there. Nah, these topics are simple growing pains, no big deal!!! Happy Easter.[swg]

Bill, I understand your frustration, but the truth is that the entire OGR situation is still developing, and is a real part of this hobby's current events. It really effects everyone here, like it or not.

I figure we have a couple more months, until the June deadline, then things should settle down. In the meantime we'll just continue to talk trains, and have fun, and allow the dust to settle. [swg]
