I been here since 2001 and seen a lot of members come and go and seen some quit the hobby because they hit some rough water in their life.

Over the past several years, I enjoyed being on this forum.
I started looking at the forum in 2011 I think but I couldn't remember. Then I signed up 2012. I use to read everything now not so much.
Railroading is my hobby and passion.

When i joined the forum in 2003, the was 2 members that stand out that posted alot, it was "bigboy" and "bigboy4884", haven't seen a post from them in years.
Been here since Aug. 2006, and haven't been cut off by the Moderators yet.
Tried to keep it mild and between the rails.

I'm not one of the old timers but I've been a member of the forum since about 2005 and started out as Tracklayer but because of some problems I had logging on I had to change my user name to Marksrailroad...
Hi guys,
Been here since 2003. I enjoying passenger rail and paint related topics but am glad to contribute and share info as well as picking up some good tips and photos of some excellent modeling.
Saddened me when Wolfgang "WeDudler" and Jeff Wimberly passed away. May they rest in God's peace.
I'm glad to see that Paul3, Doc Wayne, Brakie, IronRooster, Cudaken, and some of the other "longer termers" are still here. I do miss my forum friend "Simon 1966". On last check, he was still a modeler but his primary focus shifted to muscle cars, IIRC.
I don't plan on leaving but I hope to see more passenger rail modeling topics posted. With Rapido's steady stream of fine passenger models (F40, FL9, Osgoods, 8600's, Turboliners) and Athearn's SDP40F, interest in commuter rail and early Amtrak is on the rise again and related topics are coming up on the other forums.
