Separate forums by scale????

We should hang together or we will surely hang separately!!

It does not seem like there is enough traffic to justify separate categories. Even worse, we'd end up with an HO forum with almost the same number of posts, and a couple of very quiet forums (O and N) and a couple of almost totally dead ones (S and Z.) Frankly, I would like to hear what the S and Z scalers are doing, and certainly there is plenty of information applicable to all scales, which allows them to add their contribution and glean ideas without having to hop around a bunch of forums (forii?)

So, for me, I'd say keep the forums limited and the conversations open!

Separate, or at least enforce some sort of "scale identification" when it is appropriate. I've already voiced my irritation with wasting time researching specific produts (say, a Bachmann Spectrum 2-8-0) only to find out that the thred I've spent the last 5 or 10 minutes reading is about the HO scale product.

Many things are not scale specific, many others are. Perhaps the best approach would be to have a general forum, AND scale specific forums.

other idea: when you look at your personal profile page there is a thing called AVATAR, it might be possible to put something there to point out what scale you are modelling, so that it shows up at the left side of your post, next to or beneath the stars.
IMO this is a general discussion forum, and should stay that way, there are too many topics around that are not scale specific.

Looks like the majority wants to "Stay Onboard This Train!"

[greenHigh Greens[/green] and a big 10-4!
