After many pages of the previous "Question" thread it appears it is the wish of the original poster to let that thread die. [:(] [V] [|)] That thread contained many extremely good questions and equally valid answers. It is a shame to see it go considering it was such a wealth of information. Many of our newer users have searched that thread and learned much valuable information from it. After looking through the first 2 or 3 pages myself today, I ran across this post that I made about 2 years ago. Hi everyone, Hey Nora, you have probally read all the columns like Dear Abby, Ann Landers, and many others. I was justing wondering if we shouldn't change the name of this thread to ASK ED. Who else is as knowledgeable and articulate as our southern statesman friend. I truly am amazed at his knowledge and inspired by his willingness to share with us and expand our knowledge. If it wasn't for Ed, I would still be wondering about many of the questions that have been ask here. Let's hear it for ED. Three Cheers. [:)] [:)] [:)] End of Quote from previous thread. I believe "Ask Ed" or something close to it is already in use these days. [;)] Therefore I will simply call this thread, "The NEW and IMPROVED Question Thread." [:)] (Sounds like a plan. [:o)] [8D] [:D] ) Having one place to ask questions cuts down on the number of topics going and brings together those asking questions with those willing to answer them. Let's face it. We have a host of railroaders who are willing to answer most any question. Plus add to that, it makes for some very good reading with such experience and knowledge unleashed in one place. [:)] I sincerely hate to see the other topic go by the wayside. The vast amount of knowledge contained in that thread was amazing. It is such a pity to see it slip back into the pages of oblivion. [:(] [|)] I hope this thread can be at least half as successful as the previous question thread. Please post questions here, you will be surprised how many people will be glad to help answer your questions. You will also be surprised how many people had wondered the same thing as you had, BUT were afraid to ask. [;)] Keep those questions coming, someone can answer them I certainly don't have all the answers but we have not only knowledge here in the forum, we have experience too. I am going to try (TRY) and keep an index here so in the future we can have a quick reference guide that points us to a page as a reference. [;)] Remember please ask railroad related questions in this thread. THANKS A Bunch.
