Returning to the forum and looking over the past posts. It is going to be a while. I remember a lot of the "fallen flags" from when I was active on the old board. Sorry to hear and read of their passing.
Is anyone into shelf layout track planning? That is where I am headed.

Just found the group again. I dropped out around 2007 or 2008 after Shamus and Matthyro passed away, and I lost my train room to grandkids. A lot older now get want to do a layout again. I see that Tyson is still here looking for a few others,

The coaling tower in Leetown is always a great spot to catch the action in the yard.

Did you hear a Phila Trolley jumped the tracks, hit an SUV, then crashed into a historical building?

The Trolley was being worked on by a SEPTA mechanic.  It got away and started down the tracks and when it got to a curve, it kept going straight...

Hey, I am back. I have moved to Florida. and just getting new layout started More later.

Just to let you guys know that in several recent cases (we've had two so far this week), there are those who start to register here, but fail to finish the process in a timely manner. When someone registers, they instantly get a email that contains a link that they have to click on to verify their email address. Mikey and I get notified when someone hasn't done that yet, and we're given the chance to either leave it be in hopes that they complete the process, pass them through without doing so or deleting them entirely. We've been giving them some time to finish, but not always. Let's take "zasamuelgoolet5118" who tried to register yesterday. He only spent 20 seconds on line here, was from Russia and his bio says, "dating". No chance that he will come back and if he did, I'd expect him to bring along some spam with him, so I deleted him. If he's truly interested in railroading and doesn't think this is a dating site, he'll retry, but I doubt it.  Oh yeah, we always check them out on SFS, if they appear there, we will pass them through, then ban them.

So if you see a "new member" and then a few hours later, he disappears, you now know why. As for those spammers, we always ban them to prevent them from re-registering.

Sometimes that's the only fun we get as mods and admins....
