I had sent Begie an email seeing if they would entertain the idea of a Clinics Section. Almost like an FAQ or How to area. We have Layout, and Prototype section. It sure would make finding all the clinics much nicer.

His reply was "interesting and they would think about it", but I may have blown it asking for 1 free year of MR if they used the idea [;)]

Just my 2ยข

Oops, better add something relavent:

Someone provide the link please?

O.K,

Apparently I do this frequently, though in a different way. I just look for a previous reply within that thread, click and edit it, and then it goes up to the front page with almost no one suspecting me.

O.K, I gave away my secret!

On the Garden RR forum we have a list of usefull site also, it got so cumbersome the moderator took it and compiled all the links into one sticky, you should ask Eric to consider that here also.

Not so much a thread, but this gives me inspiration and a feeling that whatever I'm trying to accomplish could not possibly be harder than this........

New idea: Before you bump, see if there is anything useful in the first 2 or three pages to paste on here instead of just Bump



Here's one on Bright Boy's: http://www.trains.com/community/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=49084

Thanks for all the helpful and just interesting topics to track[:)]. I really appreciate the time people take to share and continue to make this the world's greatest hobby!

Trains stop at train stations, Subways stop at subway stations, On my desk I have a work station.

Aggro, great idea! How about having an index by topics at the trains page, from where you could acces these threads.
