Forums could use improvement, confusing, I would like to know what happened to the sights and sounds visual movie flicks the scene involving a railroad yard crew and the hooking up of a wrecker train in action, the tug of war between the two locomotives from the movie clips of a vintage film called: Adventure on the high Iron. would like to see those again and where to get a copie of the movie.

I found the new forums to be interesting. I even found an old friend through the forum. I think they could be improved by having the question only once at the top and all responses below that. Thanks for asking.

I apologize for the problems we're having. This afternoon the performance of the site took a big nosedive. This error message pretty much confirms that our database server took a hit. Thank you for posting the information.

Dear staff members,

Congratulations on a great initiative of yours to bring us all model train lovers together!

I just discovered that you even had forums, so I guess I'm going to need to familiarize myself a little more on HOW to us it properly. I find it a bit confusing to work with it. Somewhat harder than the Yahoo forums.

Keep up the great work

I do not like having to log in each time to look at the daily newswire. The log in has a box to "remember me" but it doesn't seem to remember me like the previous forum did.

pretty confusing but maybe someday I'll be smart enough to figure it out. Nothing personal, but everyone seems to assume "we" are all computer literate. It's a struggle for me but am learning slowly.
