Please forgive me if I am doing this wrong, but I have some questions. I'll keep it to just one because it may allow me to answer any others I have!
1. Is there a search for the forums? If yes, then most of my questions can probably be answered with a little search legwork by myself.
I 'inherited' some HO scale equipment and am now interested in learning more! Along with the equipment was a magazine. Just wondered if this is the same one that belongs to this site!?! (I will attempt to attach an image now...)
Nope, can't figure out how to put an image in. Next time maybe.
This forum is for discussion of real trains -- there's a separate forum for Model Railroader Magazine.
Click on HOME at the top of the page, and the Model Rairoader magazine forums should appear along with Garden Railways and others.
Before you go any further, it would be helpful if you could tell us exactly what the trains are that you inherited -- brand name should be on the bottom of the locomotive.
Photos cannot be posted directly to these forums -- you have to upload them to a third party site such as Photobucket and then provide a link to that site.

Greetings, and welcome to the forum.
Cacole is right. There are different forums, and each one has its own audience.
As far as posting photos, photobucket.com has served me well.
If you upload a photo to photobucket.com, you can put it in any directories that you create thereat. Some photos are shown below as examples. Note the first one, the one with the link so you’ll have an idea of how it works.

Anyway, that should give you something to digest as a welcome to the forum …
Best,

To answer your search question...upper right hand side, in the box where your avatat photo is you will see a list of items, Messages, Your discussions, so forth.
Simply click on Your Discussions and a new page will pop up with a list of the discussions you have been involved with.
At the top of the same box on that page is a search engine...have fun.
We discuss prototype full scale railroading here, but a lot of us also model, so if you wish, post your questions here also, and if you are looking for prototype information, how it is done on real railroads, here is the place to ask.
