I thought that the thread on the order of cars in a train was excellent. There was also some great information on today's tread regarding eBay.

[Big_Boy_4005]

Good idea Aggro, this topic should have more links added as we think of them and be held near the front page as a resource.

Yessss! I immediately bookmarked this thread. Joe Fugate just started one today on DCC, and I know it will be another instant classic.

The topic of posting pictures comes up a lot, and gets answered repeatedly. A good, definitive reply might be helpful here.

AGG: What a slick idea, I shall print this and use as future reference, this should have a seperate forum on it's own, good thinking.

This is a great idea !!! A list of links to "helpful hints" topics all in one place ! The powers that be should "sticky" it so it stays at the top of the list. [yeah] [tup] [:D]

This should be a sticky, and so should "the coffee shop: celebrating a year of lousy food, but great celebration"
