Spell check ok. Grammar in error. (Not all spell checkers are grammar checkers.)

Webster's defines a Forum as "a place for the open discussion of public matters". I think that implies that everyone and anyone has the right to come here and express his or her opinions in the best way they know how. Not everyone has the benefit of a university degree but they can still contribute significantly to this forum. Diversity is what makes most communities interesting and a forum is certainly a community so let’s be a little more considerate of our neighbors.

Beings DELDOT has screwed up Ben's favorite campground in this area the show was the chance we got to meet! There I am Friday evening and this guy in a blue shirt comes up behind me and says "Hey, I been looking for you; I'm Ben!" We had a nice conversation there in the lobby!

TJ - he rebuilt his bridge into an arch style! Neat picture!

I got some show cars, some more 100 T hoppers for my unit train, a pair of U boats to put on the head of the unit train, some DuPont cars for my wife (Her father worked 40 years for Uncle DuP!), some ball bearings to try, a raft of ideas, and some answered questions! A worthwhile excursion!

Rene - Told Marc that the GR booth would have been better looking if they had let you come!

Benny,

Just ignore the bull and keep posting. You've got lots of friends here who care about what you have to say and we all appreciate your contribution to this forum, especially the photos of your railroad.
