Just wanted to say THANK YOU to the moderators, Mr. Otte, and to Kalmbach for keeping this Forum going thru some difficult times. I think some forget that it is a totally FREE site, and available to anyone - including non subscribers to any of the Kalmbach mags.
Again, thank you for the many years of "just being here"!
ENJOY !

Here, Here!
Well spoken Mobileman
After all Kidding aside, that's a Ditto for me as well.
Thanks Kalmbach, Steven, Tom, and all of you guys at MR for doing such a great job, with not only a great magazine enjoyed throughout the years, but also for keeping the ship afloat here...
Thank you

Thank you also to MR Forums. I'm guessing it sometimes feels like a thankless job.
Glad that the issues have been resolved and things are moving forward.

I would also like to express my gratitude to the Model Railroader staff for providing us with the forums. I have to confess that I was suffering some withdrawal symptoms when the site was having difficulties, but I think that just proves how much I enjoy it.
Thanks folks!
Cheers!!

I'm just a dude with a bad back having a lot of fun with model trains, and finally building a layout!

Yes, that's an important point. One model railroad manufacturer used to have a free forum, but dropped it several years ago. I used to frequent a forum sponsored by a major guitar manufacturer to chat about music. I quit when they changed it to a payers-only forum; last I checked (maybe 10 years ago) it was something like $25 a year. Kalmbach is to be commended for still offering a series of free forums!
Add my thank you to the above. Dan
I'm grateful, too. I would never even have been able to get my layout up and running without this forum.
Returning to model railroading after 40 years and taking unconscionable liberties with the SP&S, Northern Pacific and Great Northern roads in the '40s and '50s.
Here here!
Nice to write thanks to all who make this forum possible. This is a great resource for help and just getting us through some very difficult times.
For those who remember the hit-show "Cheers" this forum seems like an extension of the show. Pull up a chair and have a cold one (beer, ice tea, prune juice, etc.) on me to those who help others out.
To quote Monte Python, it might pull through!

I agree with the nice comments on MR's staff.
However - just curious - but where does a "pay" forum actually exist specifically for model railroading? I must be ignorant of its/their existence.
BATMAN I would also like to express my gratitude, it has been an enjoyable 18 years.
