Hello,

I frequently notice general questions about either railroading or model trains being posted within this forum section. This isn't really the place for those types of questions... this is a general place where users can ask questions about how the forum works.

For all other questions, I encourage you to go back to the top level of our reader forums and choose the appropriate magazine-related forum section for your question. You're much more likely to receive quality responses by doing so.

Here's a general breakdown of where to put questions:
- Modern railroading and general railroading history: Trains magazine
- Railroad history: Classic Trains
- Scale model trains: Model Railroader
- Toy trains, including Lionel, three rail, S gauge, etc.: Classic Toy Trains
- Garden trains: Garden Railways

Thanks!
Erik
