Roadtrp, I jsut want to add abit ot what you have to say.

If you pointed out anyhting in this world, a culture, a ssociety that ONLY sticks to one topic, I'd say either you were making it up, or you were kidding.

The fact that there is no harm, is more like the FACT that it brings together community spirit, when occasioanlly, the subject matter is altered from the theme, This is a proven fact, and you will learn this in any Sociology class.

FACT: If were to srictly talk about ONER certain subject, this forum would be so mundaine, PBS would llook entertaining.

The other FACT is you will NEVER be able to keep the topic on one thing, never ever, I hate to burst anyones bubble, but that is the harsh reality as it falls.

I guess I don't seen anything wrong with an occasional real railroad post on the General Discussion forum, though it would probably be inappropriate on the Layouts and Layout Building forum. After all, it is love of real railroads that brought many of us to the hobby in the first place.

Just my opinion... everybody has one... [:)]
