Hi GearDrivenSteam. Nice of you to say hi to everyone. Some people just join and never say hi. Does your name describe Shays?

Shays are my favorite, but I like Heislers and Climaxes, too.

Hello, let me join those offering welcome. I have found the various Trains forums very interesting and am pleased with the fact that Kalmbach offers them.

At the risk of restating the obvious, you will be able to find answers to any topic and feel free to visit the other forums as well.

Over time the only drawback to the forums for me is one probably shared by those of us who have dial-up as our ONLY option. It can become tedious waiting for pictures and graphics to load when a thread contains a lot of those.

Let me also suggest visiting the practice forum if you find something causing difficulty. I found quick and helpful answers there to technical points on posting.

Welcome.



Dale

No. We're too poor to do any traveling like that. I've seen a lot of online articles about it, though.
