It's summer!!! Most people are doing other things, usually outdoors, or traveling. This is normal behavior for most train lovers. There are still a few of us weirdos around, what's your excuse?[swg]

I'm back!

I've been hanging around here a bit lately, I'm on 2 weeks vacation.

Been spending more time watching the trains, though, with the nice weather and gas being a little more on the cheap side.

Forums get busier as the day gets later. Overnite is usually the busiest.

Joantvw....your mission, if you choose to accecpt, is to infiltrate Kalmbachs publishing's headquarters in Wakusha Wisconsin. You must find out what dark secrets they will be publishing in the next several issues of trains. If you are caught, you must use your cyanide pills to keep all information that you uncover a secret. This Post will self destruct in 10...9...8...7............................................................................................

I've been lerking around but its summer now, all my fellow large scale hobbiest have awoken and come out of there winter hibernation, so the large scale forums I also frequent have been busy with chatter. That plus being busy with work and home.

   Have fun with your trains

Its not just TRAINS thats a little slow. Lot of forums I visit on a daily basis are a tad bit slow. Oh well. Someone said above about it being Summer, I say thats a pretty good explanation.[:)]
